No, I agree entirely. But maybe my laziness is showing.Originally Posted by Catrin
Why would 2 people need all of that? I can understand wanting something nice, but really, 6 bathrooms for one married couple? Do they perhaps envision having one of their parents eventually moving in or something? It sounds like a great... multi-generational home (for lack of a better term). Perhaps this is just my own background showing, I just think all of that would be so hard/expensive to maintain properly.
I've only seen your house once, but I liked it

7 bathrooms would be better. You could use one a day! put signs on them "Sunday" "Monday" etc so you didn't get mixed up.

Once I lived in a rented condo with 1.5 bathrooms. I never used the powder room, so all I had to do was dust before guests came over. Also I kept my bike in it. Originally Posted by Owlie

Invite your friend on a bike ride. She can get to know the neighborhood.

I don't know why anybody wants a huge house.

Ha, I totally agree! I HATE housework! Originally Posted by Owlie

Honestly, I think massive houses are kind of gross and reek of conspicuous consumption, which is so 1990s. Even if we had the good fortune to be able to afford a mansion there's no way we'd do it. I couldn't live in something over 2k square feet and not feel guilty. There are so many in need (people and critters) that I'd rather help. Dumping money into a big home, then dumping more into the cost of maintaining said home...no way.Kirsten
