House (FoMT)

Your house is where you live in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

In the beginning, your house is a relatively small and bare home, but upgrades and furniture pieces will become available later on to make your house more home-like and better to live in. Once your house has been furnished and upgraded, you can also get married and move your spouse in with you.

Expansions
You can expand your house twice if you speak to Gotz, the local lumberjack and carpenter. Benefits of expanding your house include special items that only appear on the Shopping Channel once your house is a certain size, and the second house expansion is a requirement for marriage, if you hope to marry a girl in the game.

First Expansion

The first house expansion will cost you 3000 G and 200 pieces of lumber. You can obtain the lumber either by chopping stumps and branches with your axe, or buying it from Gotz for 50 G each.

Second Expansion

The second house expansion will cost 10,000 G and 700 pieces of wood

Purchasable Upgrades/Furniture
As mentioned, certain items can only be bought once your house has been expanded.

Other Upgrades
Bathroom Once your house has been expanded to its full extent, you can go to Gotz, and in his list of services offered, you should see an option to build a bathroom. This will cost you 30,000 G and 580 pieces of lumber.

The bathroom acts like a spa; it does the same thing as the Hot Spring. 30 minutes will pass when you use the bathroom, and you will replenish some stamina and fatigue.

Redesigns
When you have bought all upgrades from Gotz, you can choose to remodel some physical aspects of your home. These do not upgrade or cause them to function differently; it is purely a change of looks, if you have gold to spare.
