Thanks, Kat!And yeah, you DO have a ton of space for just the two of you, but I think that is good. You need your space, so it works for you.
OMG, Liz, you did NOT make a speadsheet for your workouts did you? Please tell me you didn't!
Oh and I am a definite for next year. 100%.
I am a definite for next year too. I will find a trade for D. Or, the way things have been going lately, he will likely agree without one.

Spreadsheet!!

We have about 2300 sq ft w/ a 2car garage. But, in my area at the time we bought, it was like $75-78 a sq ft. So, we figured that in case bc failed, it would be better to have the extra space and not have to move. The space is nice, though... esp if D decides to play some online game complete with LOUD headset, I can escape downstairs!

I love the location, as we are right smack in the middle between the three "cities" that make up the Triangle, and in the middle of the research park which would be my primary employment area.
There is nowhere around here that is an "urban" walking only area, unfortunately. I had that in Chicago and loved it, but hated the weather....
Speaking of weather (and yes, I am random today), it is 80 today!!
