We will be downsizing from this 3,800 square foot house

Good lord - 3900 square feet?

Damn...

3,800 of living area *including* our finished basement. We designed
the basement so it could easily be converted into an in-law suite as it
has a full bath, kitchen area (less stove and only a bar fridge) and
TV/sitting area. The rest is a playroom with pool table, foosball and
pinball. The unfinished area includes closets and my workroom.

With both kids soon gone we do not need this size of house and will
definitely get something smaller.

I didn't need 3900 square feet and I had four. :)

Wow...


We didn't either.

I grew up in a small bungalow and then a modest 4 bedroom ranch with my
4 sisters. We had a pond in the back that my dad dug. We skated on it
during the winter. My good friend down the road had a big hill in his
backyard we used for sledding. It had a nice open space at the bottom
of the hill and played baseball and football on. My buddy next door
had a basketball hoop that was great for 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 games,
including HORSE. We spent a lot of time outside.

I probably had more fun in that house (1 tv, 1 telephone) than my kids
did in this house.

But you only live once and the house has appreciated nicely since we
built it. ;-)
