Housing update.

Looked at 2 more houses today. 1st one, no way in heck. Had evidence of spider infestations and in one room, the floor sloped noticably. The outside looked nice also. The second was pristine inside and out. Beautiful! Loved it on every point except one. Very small.
Then we drove by 9 or so more for sale. Some had no curb appeal. The inside could have been spectacular and I would not have cared because the owners did not take the time to make the outside look decent. You can't judge a book by its cover but..........you can judge a house by its yard.
We went and spoke to the base housing people this afternoon and we are definitely going to get a brand-spaken new house if we want one. They also gave us a floor plan, and boy! did it look nice. It had one particular feature that I totally, like high 5, loved, loved, loved..... It had the washer and dryer hookups on the second floor where all the bedrooms were. How smart is that? Where is the majority of the dirty laundry? Where does the majority of the clean laundry need to go back to? No one changes clothes and takes showers in the kitchen so why would you put the washer and dryer there? I personally hate to gather all my laundry up, upstairs, to lug it down to the washer and dryer and then lug it back upstairs.
Let me know your thoughts on this. Especially you, Momster, as your washer and dryer are in the basement.
