    If you haven't figured it out yet, I live in a dome. With the sunroom, it's about 3300 sq ft. A large portion of that is the living room/dinning room that takes almost half of the bottom floor. Everything else is about regular sized, but I don't feel the house is two big.

    It is interesting to read all of your thoughts. I spoke to my wife about it and she said it would be neat to live in BUT..

    1>Needs a bathroom
    2>Needs Fast internet
    3>Running water

    And she can live there. Oh and a little bigger

    Our house is just under 1500sq ft, plus a unfinished basement we park in. Plenty for us, ok for a second couple. more than that and I'm ready to shoot someone.
    We have talked about downsizing a little should we build again. Most likely will to between 800-1000. Our biggest issue is storage space. We just don't have enough so our spare bedroom/hamshack ends up being a catch all which drives us both nuts. I do like having the cars in the basement. Easy out in bad weather, frost, snow and no one can see what you have brought home with you.
    Wife agrees that a bathroom/running water is a must.

    My wife considers a ramada inn without a kitchenette "camping". Lol
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Vodin what are you talking about.....when the snow melts there is running water..........for the bathroom what's wrong with peeing off the deck..............when you are on top of a hill like that you probably have good internet or at least satellite.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    Just curious......I'm 6' 3" tall. Is there any one else here very tall or (forgive me here) very short, and do you think this might be an influence as to what you think is a large or small space. If you take a basic room, maybe 10' x 10', I would consider it to be small. Would someone who is 5' tall consider the same room to be large?

    realist, it isn't me with the proble.. issue. Smell like the wild and the animals wont think you are a guest Ok I told her to take a shower in the rain bathe in the stream bed. But we are on the same page.

    For a woman terrified of breathing underwater it only took me 4 years to get her SCUBA certified granted everyday I had to say "Awww come on it aint like that.. just try it!"

    I am almost Jedi material with that mind control thing

    ALERT!!! I was just informed Women cant pee off the deck they would pee on themselves.
    (Afterwords I quickly added we can install a rope so she can hang outwith her feet on the deck.

    Height well I was taller 5'9", now I am 5'8" due to a curiosity incident.

    And women are now liberated!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!
