That sounds ideal!
I’ve come to the conclusion that a man designed that house, a woman would’ve looked at the bare layout and designed it so that there was some storage. John was particularly interested in it because there was a door from the hall into the garage. Man thing.
I found the plans for our house earlier and what’s supposed to be the dining room here is only 8” narrower and 3’ shorter than the living room in the house we viewed.
I’m not sure we could realistically go down to a 3 bedroom yet, not while Joe’s still home and we still have a need for a home office for working from home, for either him or John.
Of course, there’s also the issue of my Dad. We’d be around an hour away, and in the same area as my sister, so any problems and there wouldn’t be anyone nearby to go to his aid but should we put our plans on hold? My sister certainly didn’t when she moved over to that area a few years ago and left all of this to us.
