I'd live in your house in a heart beat. If I wanted to push the envelope a bit,I could have it earth-sheltered,have some of the living space be a greenhouse/conservatory,have part of it be a suite for a rental,guest,caregiver,family member or a personal work area. A lower area could house a garage,stable,etc. and any of it could be made "walkout",equipped with elevators and be made accessible to any resident or visitor. With the housing grants being extended,a couple could pay for a $20,000 dollar home rather quickly. If one uses the formula of 2 times X (the price of the house) divided by Y (the number of years of a mortgage) divided by 12, then $40k (minus $16K rebate) = 24K divided by 12 monthly payments divided by however long one wished to pay on the house. A five year plan would equal $400 a month or about two thirds of what a property in Kentucky might rent for. This way,one would have a beautiful (and reasonably portable) home with equity rather handing over funds to a landlord.
