The one thing I’ve seen from the many houses we looked at when buying ours and the numerous estate sales is people tend to bring or buy furniture that is too large for these style houses. Many houses we’ve seen just look cluttered.
Yes, speaking of ants. Florida has FIRE ants and they can do a number on you if you step on their ant hills. As you live in Florida for years and years you develop somewhat of an immunity to them. But, when you 1st move here, just one bite can possibly (varies with different people) swell up your foot. There are various hardware store products that you can put on their hills (they are most active in the summer). But, hot soapy water will control their activity pretty well. They can't be eliminated, just controlled.
