I guess if I weren't there all the time it would be survivable. I'm impressed, though. I don't feel so bad now about all of our future house plans that will probably fall apart. We're talking about selling our current place and getting a smaller house when our son goes to college. I have a hard time admitting it, but I think my husband is right and this house and yard, much as I love them, are too large for us.VM Sehy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832671940615894037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-61813807882559714242012-09-29T12:01:23.866-05:002012-09-29T12:01:23.866-05:00A fun home to have, nice to be able to help your k...A fun home to have, nice to be able to help your kids.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-54799593287398036232012-09-29T08:29:10.240-05:002012-09-29T08:29:10.240-05:00B.

Whittington, it's not really like two families in one house, more like a duplex. and we are only there a few days a week when we have work to do in the shop so it's nice that they are there taking care of the place.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-91495855633297665762012-09-29T07:45:53.296-05:002012-09-29T07:45:53.296-05:00Enjoy while they are there!

I would like to think we would all do what you are doing too.<br /> <br />I actually like spaces small. The smaller the better. Besides, as long as the roof doesn't leak, you are warm and there's coffee what more do you need? Oh, and a view I see. :D<br /> <br />I think the bathroom looks good, considering - and what is old is new again, so it has awesome potential with the basic pieces in place. I mean, who doesn't love a claw foot tub? Unless they have to move it. ::wink::SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-15126132496186207582012-09-29T01:37:40.713-05:002012-09-29T01:37:40.713-05:00Looks like a great house.
