Who's bright idea was this?

I think it was mine, but it might have been my husband's, tough to know where to lay the blame really :)
Either way the decision was made to move from our nice detached house in the city to ten acres of bald prairie. Never ones to do things the easy way, rather than build we decided to move two houses onto the land and join them together on a basement to make one big house. What fun! What utter madness! Houses were acquired from the family homestead and from an acreage just south of town. House movers were employed for the mammoth task. Basement was dug, it rained, we had a swimming pool, awesome. Basement was constructed regardless of the mud bog, (out of styrofoam, like a big lego set), concrete was poured.  Still it rained, man the pumps! Moving day! Off down the road like the circus, first one house, then a few days later the second one! Onto the basement they go. Praise the Lord! They fit :)
Wonderful, end of story?....move in the next day?.....shortest blog ever?....heck no. This is where the story begins......
