Nice. This line in particular rang true... "Keep in mind that the house I ultimately choose must cost less than the one I am currently living in. Make sure, however, that you correct all the deficiencies that exist in my current house (the floor of my kitchen vibrates when I walk across it, and the walls don’t have nearly enough insulation in them)."
If I had a penny for every job that needed "all the bells & whistles" but where the client was totally unprepared to pay for their implementation Id be a rich man
