A Smaller Home Size

The smaller the better?
I respect the tiny house movement, however I KNOW it is absolutely not for me!  It is absolutely fascinating though, so click on the link if you're interested in finding out more about  what it's all about :-)

Reasons why a smaller house is better:
  • Less to clean which in turn makes it easier to clean.
  • Less stuff needed to fill it, less stuff to worry about or stress over.
  • Smaller house, smaller bills (especially heating and cooling!).
  • Also less homeowners insurance because it's not as expensive to replace!
  • Makes being organized a necessity, and that is good (as long as we you do it).
  • Smaller house for might mean a larger yard - great for bigger gardens!

Negatives to a smaller house:
  • Not a lot of room for company - just have most of your parties in the summer so they can be outside!
  • Not a lot of storage space - solve this by organizing creatively.

That's all the negatives I can think of for now. 
The positives for far outweigh the negatives...

We moved! 

We sold our Long Island home and moved to the Adirondacks where we are building an earth sheltered home.

We loved this house! But it was time to move on...
