I never was good at math.........
So we double in square footage in the new house and mathmatically there should be more than enough room for everything in the new place, but for some scientific reason everything doesn't fit.
In the move I lost the advantage of having a walk in pantry (and apparently I was worried about having enough food stored for several months of bad weather). Now I have just a few kitchen cabinets and no room for said food. Hmmmm...... Abby needs to start cooking more, maybe that is the solution.
Do they make linen closets with enough shelves? Just wondering I don't think I have ever seen one.
On the other hand, Kirk and I have shared a closet for 15 years and I've now proven I was right (who thought otherwise besides him?). He took more than his share. We each have out own closets exactly the same size now. I have room to do lots of shopping. Kirk on the other hand cannot walk into his, literally.
My sewing room is eventually going to be wonderful, but so far it is "catching" things that don't currently have a home. I'm thinking that is what "Kirk's storage" room is for, things like sleeping bags. Now I have often thought of sewing until I fall over asleep but I'm hoping I'll have enough energy to walk to the bed and not need the sleeping bag close at hand.
The garage has been interesting.......... Abby is scared to death, Ms America is going to get wet, I on the other hand do not care if my car gets soaked so parking in the drive for a couple of days while I put 75 empty boxes in garage did not bother me to much. Apparently Ms America spent lots of hours complaining to Abby about it because Abby moved the boxes so cars could be parked back under the garage and locked securely.
Speaking of the drive, it is long and designed for one car width. Now four cars and a two car garage and single drive has created nine kinds of drama. The obvious solution, pour a double drive. The obvious problem with that? Have you priced concrete lately? In Marion, they obviously pour in a little gold dust. The other problem, with new housing booming, no one wants the job at any price. Go figure.
Can't wait for Dana to get home and figure out her room, we just set up the bed and moved a little furniture around. Boxes are calling.
Lucy is having a harder time adjusting. The house is so much bigger she can't stay close enough. She tries hard to just follow everyone, every step we make.
We are still working on the math/size/space problem in a couple of rooms. I'm sure it will be many years of "work in progess".

Ms. America did not complain to me. But I try to make it a point to never make her life so hard that she has to complain. We have a garage. We should park in said garage.
We seriously need to get a drive way because I back out like I'm drunk trying to weave between the house and Dad's truck. Did you see the dew swerve marks on the concrete? It's not an easy task. I do however love the house.

I'm parking on the street. I have never been good in reverse.
Every time I move my stuff multiplies. Abby's does too. Remmeber the TWO U-Hauls it took to get us out of that tiny room? Where did all that stuff live before??

Who the heck knows but I betcha we still have 99.9% of it!!!

No we dont! I've disposed of a large amount of that stuff. All of that stuff lived in our closet, at the back in that weird area with the curtain that wouldn't stay up.
Ah, that was a great closet.

Yeah. I like that you made us put up lace panels inside a curtained off closet so no one saw that stuff--as if anyone ever got that far into our closet.
It also lived on theat bookshelf with the TV. There was a LOT of stuff there.
I probably still have 99.9% of all that nonsense.
