I've often thought that what I really need is a small warehouse 8-10,000sq ft would be perfect, with a small loft built into it.
I have 900sq ft now, plus a small garage and it is perfectly livable. I would prefer more.... sort of. I'm happy with my living space but I would prefer a much larger garage. I mean I'd like a larger living space too, but my priority would be a bigger garage/workshop.

Sounds like the perfect place for everything I like doing.... especially if it's lake front. DefSent from my smurfing hunk of techno sorcery

Now we have 100-120m² + some basement rooms, my wifes mom lives on the upper floor with seperate 80² - enough room for us without having/wanting kids. I could manage to go a little bit smaller, as long as i got more room around the house for my hobbies. And of course a smaller garden, i don´t like to do gardenwork, and there is way to much out there.
I'm not a big fan of yardwork myself. I don't mind mowing the lawn but I would swap out all the mulch and plants and just put stones down in the flower beds. .
Well I am changing where I live due to circumstances that I have 50% control over so I am going to downsize for now.In the new year I'm moving into a flat (apartment for those on the western side of the pond). It won't be a long term arrangement as I have been looking at a 70ft trad narrow boat that comes with it's own mooring. The mooring has a reasonably large garden, a garage with a workshop, a green house and a vegetable plot.As I was told many years ago "Dry your eyes princess and man the smurf up!"I see this as positive move in many ways
If you need anyone to talk to about that dingy Mark, you know where to find me

Best of luck Smashie! If you do get the boat though, you'll need to change your user name to 70ft-trad!

Or ... he could buy mine, change his name to 50ft-trad, and I'll change mine to something else That'd confuse people
Oh goodie. Can I come over for dinner?
I've gone backpacking, and there are times when you realize you have everything you reasonably need on your back. Although, that's for fairly short durations.
