I'm right there with you!! We'd be fine in our 1500 sq ft (with a couple of hundred square feet lost in a strange little room where the attic access pulls down, but not useful for anything else) house for about a year. Without 9 bikes (including a tandem) and a bike trailer + a golden retriever in the house, we'd be fine. But yeah - there's just not a lot of clearance between stuff. And we've significantly de-junked. There's a long way to go...

Ours was built in 1912.
