While we were waiting for our house to be built in WY we bought an RV I don't remember it's size It had a small bedroom and bath a little kitchen and living area. We did that for a few months and I never want to do it again. The house was supposed to be finished before I retired in Sept. of 04, it wasn't completed until the following May, we moved into the house in Feb because I couldn't take the small space anymore. The workers had to work around us.

I actually do very well in small spaces.  I tend to keep things better organized, get by with less and find ways of being more efficient and have things do double duty and serve multiple purpose.  I have always wanted a big old house, but to be honest I wouldn't know what to do with all that room.  I would have to invite friends and family to stay with me all the time to put the space to good use.  :)

I live in an old farmhouse although it is a "fourwing" home about a 100 years old the assessment slip says about 1050 ft living area.  I lived in a tiny cubicle for years while in the military and had to share that usually with some sociopath or such.  I remember we had conversations as to why we had less space than prison cells. I also lived in a backpacking tent for four months straight while through-hiking the Appalachian Trail and previously while section hiking it for more than a month each year for three years. I am afraid that with more space I would get more unneeded stuff. If I built or bought a different house I would like less than 1000 ft living area and like T2, simplify. My theory is the smaller the easier to clean, heat, cool, maintain, etc.

Great house.  I bet it would be fun decorating all the rooms too, but I would end up just living in one or two of them.  LOL I am jealous of the porch though.  I have always wanted a porch, with rocking chairs and swings to go with it.  

[Shadowman]

Yes, a porch like that would be great. One could lay out there in a chair and wave at the neighbors and make remarks when they walk past.  But those don't look like picnic tables out front, more like fish cleaning tables?
