Danny and Colleen The story of the Barkow Family We met in the summer of 1994 through Cols cousin Patrick. We started dating in December of 94, much to the dismay of family and friends. We decided to get married in September of 2000. Now we are in the process of building our dream home. We looked at everything that was available in NJ and could not believe the prices!!! We then found out how much cheaper housing is in the Northeastern Pennsylvania area so we finally decided to check out the builders in the Pocono Mountain region. Even though it would be a 2 hour ride to work, we fell in love with the tranquil setting of the area and the country type atmosphere and the thought of a mountain hideaway was very appealing. We found out that LTS is the most reputable builder in the area. We picked a house, got accepted for a mortgage, and closed on the deal March 2, 2001. The house is suppossed to be completed in 6 phases, one month per phase, with finally completion about November 1, 2001. While we have already faced many hardships with this project, and the fact that it would have been much easier to buy an already built house in NJ, we are extremely excited and would do it no other way. |
