The House I’d Build Again and Again


Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

 


I’ve built some incredible homes as a general contractor, but one stands out—the “Disney Home.” The homeowner and designer told us to let our imaginations run wild. I built a treehouse bedroom with a 15-foot-wide trunk, rope bridges, and a ceiling that lit up with constellations. The craftsmanship was unforgettable, and the bonds formed on that project still last today.

But my real dream home? A simple four-bedroom house where my wife and I sipped coffee in the kitchen while our kids, then 7, 8, and 5, thundered down the stairs, their laughter filling the air. That’s the home I’d build again and again.
