Careful! Sounds like Jimmie's looking for info to begin another rant
about
your possessions!

Just so we are on the same page..... the house and the garage/workshop
combined 7600 sq ft......



The trend in new construction in our area for the past few years has been
large, oversized houses of 5K to over 10k square feet. Until recently,
they sold as fast as they were built. Great for young families raising a
bunch of kids, but it doesn't make sense to me when they are all off on
their own and it's just me and Mrs.E.

Of course, she replaced the three kids with three dogs and three horses in
addition to the 5 grandkids. (had to stop and count them .... don't ask
me to name them)

That was also the trend around here.........until the last year or so,
especially with the young buyers. They are now putting an emphasis on
quality vs. size.........as smart move.
