No wade ,you dont know "mess " lol we went from an 1800 sf house to about 900 sf place .90% of my stuff is in storage and were still too crowded .Downsizing is an understatement .But someday ,when hubby decides what state we are going to ,he is gonna buy the biggest damn house we can afford .I plan on an office again and at least one guest room . We are like rats in a maze here and are the types to need space .But my place makes a nyc apt look like a mansion
