We paid for many "extras" that I thought would suit our needs.
At the time, during the recession, I could have bought a lot more house for the money. Hubby was thinking this was our dream house and it sure turned out not to be.
So, bottom line, if you don't think it will work the way you want to -- back out and build one that will.
Forgot to add, at the time we built I didn't know I'd be a quilter, I sure would have designed the office/sewing room differently with table height outlets, more storage, etc.
I'm not worried about that at all. We're in this house for almost $40K so far (will pay the balance when it's set next week) and we're happy with it since we pretty much changed a lot of the layout. However, I was just commenting on how it's funny that to dh, it looks big and to me, it looks small. He doesn't realize the sheer amount of junk I have. lol. Iraxy got what I was trying to say.
It's the opposite with his tractors. When I look at them they look gigantic. To him they're just normal size.
