How much money do I need? Part 1: The House

Let's see. I need money to build a decent home for my family. We already have a lot in Avida where we could build on, but not enough cash to build a home. I think about 5 to 7 Mil would do the trick. There ain't gonna be no swimmin' pools and gold doorknobs and shit. I plan to keep it homely as possible. It should be a "happy" house after all. Not a party house, no ma'am. I plan to build a home where my kids can grow to be good kids and away from all the evils and the cheapness of today's hooligan like youth culture. Anyway...

The top floor is to have a master's bedroom with a huge walk-in closet to store my lovely wife's armada of handbags from snotty companies like LV, RL, DB, Coach, etc.. The master's bedroom should also have a spacious bathroom to fit a couple of bookshelves for my Honda Tuning magazines and other interesting toilet reading. The bathroom must be big enough for me and my kids to brush our teeth at the same time. The master's should have a big wall-mounted TV set-up. I have to watch my Al Pacino & Robert de Niro DVDs somewhere. The master's bed should be big enough to help "make some magic happen." The top floor should have adjacent boys and girls rooms. My boy Andres and her little sister Amber must sleep sometime. Outside these rooms is a den, where my kids can do their school work, play their video games, and do whatever it is kids do those days. A veranda with a rocking chair where I could read the Sunday paper and smoke in peace would also be nice.

At the ground floor, the usual American/Western house scheme would suffice--kitchen, living room, dining table, maid's quarters, etc.,etc.. My wife could take care of that easy. I just want a basement office/library--that has an access to the garage, just like Tony's Soprano's. I want that room to be dark, in contrast to the rest of the house, to build a little mystery, perhaps. A couple of replica Juan Luna's would perhaps do the trick. Match those with some public library style stand up bookshelves and there you have it. Then the garage: I want an automatic garage door garage which houses two cars inside and a sheltered driveway large enough to park four more cars if needed. The inside space is for my project/show car and my saturday track car. The sheltered diveway is for me and my wife's daily drivers.

This is just for the house. Summary: 1 master's bedroom, two kid's rooms, den, veranda, living room-kitchen-dining, maid's quarters, 3 t/bs, basement office, garage.

Count as of the first money post: 5 to 7 Mil (PhP).
