_.. WITH IRENE. |

They say it you can plan a house
and still remain on speaking terms
with your spouse, you have a happy
marriage.

Ours is wearing a bit thin, and the!
strain is begining to tell.

We had hoped to build our dream
house last year, but circumstances
(money to be exact) prompted us to
put it off for a year. There have been
Tmany times when I dearly wish that
we had built last year; we would be
out of this apartment and wouldn't
be driving ourselves crazy over plans.
On the other hand, I often thank my
lucky stars we didn’t build or wa
would probably be driving ourselves
crazy over all the blunders we made.

We had plans “s
all drawn up by
this time last
year, and

I

stfully put them
y std contented ourselves with a
<ekly Sunday drive up through the
subdivision to drool over the site.
~ Come fall, we began thinking of
“uilding again, dusted off the plans
-=nd then began to see all the things
that were wrong with it.
Why did I ever think I wanted
the bathroom away down at the end
of the hall? The kids’ room was aw-

three ina house that size. This wor-
ried me and so I set to work. I sh
ed walls, I moved cupboards, I took
oft a foot here and added a foot
there. And still’ ended up with two
bedrooms.

I also began making myself. very
popular with hostesses by suddenly
demanding “how big is this room and
where are your basement stai
The upshot of all this is that I have
become an expert on plans and can
immediately quote the size of a cub-
board. and how much space the frig
will tuke,

basement one time, and has remaiu-

I have questioned gently, pleaded
urgently and openly demanded that
he give up the idea. I have even sug-
gested that we go outside to gain
entrance to the basement, or give up
the idea of a basement altogether (i
was desperate). But no — his reply
was “I may “wish a hundred times
that the darned thing was enclosed,
but right now I want an open stair-
well.”

His second love was to have the!

fireplace on an inside wall with the
other side showing in the hall, or
someplace. When I mumbled that
