Thread: Sq. ft. living space?

I weighed the pros and cons of windows and I agree a couple more windows for lighting would be beneficial. I like light from the east more than from the west due
to the heat produced. I also consider our trips and how easy it would be to access the interior through the windows that are not visible to the public. We are stepping into uncharted waters and just trying to cover the bases. Appreciate your help Randy. I think this one will be our choice.

How about my 2 cents. What about putting the MBR closets on the same wall side by side. The wall away from the bathroom. Make hers 8.5 ft and yours 6.5 ft. And spread the doors so you can put a dresser between them. Hope that made sense. Also, closets in the spare bedrooms? And at least one window in every bed room, maybe 2 in the MBR. Too many entrances into the second bath, kills bedroom wall space. Just put one from the outside and beef the walls up , so it can be a storm room. You need to look at it as marketable in the future as well. Okay I quit. And I like simple and uncluttered myself.

Thought of a couple more ideas, Joe. On demand hot water heaters and alarm system. Also, we are going to want pix, lots of pix, and I'll get directions next year. Danny

It's all about need and preference. My sweet wife loves the 3000 ft we live in. When we first got married many years ago I built a 400 ft cabin for us we lived in for 6 years. That's all I need.

Danny, your are welcome anytime. I like the idea of two closets with a dresser between them. Still mulling ideas about the shared guest bedrooms bathroom.
Marketability down the road doesn't concern me as much as comfort today does. This will be my last one. On demand water heaters, probably 2 to cover the bathrooms
and kitchen. She washes clothes in cold water. I won't be shy with the pics. Hopefully can give you the address in February. We signed all the papers yesterday and money
was deposited in our account. Got until Saturday to get the floors cleaned real good and then wave bye-bye to 34 years on this place. I think it got to the nephews we
raised more than it did us. Gave my horse away yesterday to a neighbor lady across the road and she was happy. Won't meet the new owner, but left good
instructions on how to care for the deer, turkey and feeding the fish in the pond. Moved into the 5th wheel today and going to pretend to be camping for a while. No done
deal on the purchase of land yet. Waiting until access road issues are resolved. Wake up every morning to a new world. Looking forward to new adventures. Left one rod
and reel and enough crappie tackle in the camper to enjoy some fishing while things come together.

I got plenty for you to use at TB. No worries.

Caught the new owner riding around in his new hay field today and stopped him because I didn't recognize the truck. Disabled vet that loves to fish and going to take up
hunting deer. Loves to dove hunt and was showing his buddy his new property. Noticed his license plate with the Silver Star and knew he served our country well. We
chatted for a spell and glad he is the new owner. The VA denied his loan to purchase my place, so he just took 300K out of his CD's and paid cash. He said the VA didn't
want to finance land that was Ag exempt. He is in real winner in my opinion. He couldn't believe he was going to get to hunt two counties from his private property and
was thrilled that he would be able to kayak fish e creek that empties into Eagle Mountain Lake. He is the buyer I've been waiting for. Today was an eventful day for us.
Now, back to the drawing board.
