[QUOTE=rubicon;381925]Ladydoc me too. I have been here for 5 years and have not gotten adjusted to the downsizing. We have a 2200 square foot house with golf cart garage and I feel like I'm in a sardina can?????(QUOTE)
I have owned about 15 houses, north and south, with and without basements. Biggest was about 3500 s.f. - 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, bonus room over the 3 car garage, den, family room, living room, dining room, etc. Don't miss it at all. In fact, it's very freeing to me. But, everyone is different.
I really think the secret is to get rid of "stuff." Be comfortable, not crowded. What do one or two people really need, use and enjoy? Pare down what you are really still interested in, and need, and sell or give away the rest.
This year will be our first fall in TV - didn't move down until November last year, coming back from Ohio this year in a couple of weeks. I will probably miss October in Ohio, probably the nicest time of year here. But I won't miss raking all those leaves!
