    On an almost entirely unrelated note, we went to look at a house yesterday, and across the road the neighbour had a Trump poster along with two life-size cut-outs of Teh Donald and Melania standing on his lawn, looking as though they were getting married.

    It didn't appear to be being done with any sense of irony.

    Not sure what it all means. A bit weird, though. I'm not 100% sure I want them as neighbours.

    I was only joking

        We’re trying. Kids have finished high school so we’re hoping to go somewhere a little more affordable - i.e more space

              Okay.

              Bigger house? Bigger yard? Acreage?

              You know, anything past two acres requires a tractor. 😄

                We're currently in a 1200 square foot thing, which is way too small - we're hoping to double it, and get a bigger yard - one we've looked at was about 0.4 acres, which is fine for the dogs and what-have-you.

                We're moving away from Boston commuter-belt, probably to more rural places - at least, rural by New England standards. It gets a lot more affordable.

                The place we looked at was originally built in the 1830's - which is actually pretty terrifying, but maybe liveable. It would be a project....

                          @Aqua-Letifer it’s peculiar that you don’t get the whole LGB phenomenon as a populist phenomenon of ridicule against a corrupt political machine propping up the most inept and ridiculous administration in American politics which is systematically weakening America internationally, economically, and in border security and energy independence, all done in service of the technocracy and with the supine assistance of the media.

                          I get it just fine. I'm just saying it doesn't make for funny jokes is all.

                                      You know, anything past two acres requires a tractor. 😄

                                      We're currently in a 1200 square foot thing, which is way too small - we're hoping to double it, and get a bigger yard - one we've looked at was about 0.4 acres, which is fine for the dogs and what-have-you.

                                      We're moving away from Boston commuter-belt, probably to more rural places - at least, rural by New England standards. It gets a lot more affordable.

                                      The place we looked at was originally built in the 1830's - which is actually pretty terrifying, but maybe liveable. It would be a project....

                                      I thought you were supposed to "down size" when the kids left, not "up size"? LOL

                                      Okay.

                                      Bigger house? Bigger yard? Acreage?

                                      Sounds like they have paid their dues with their current square footage for so many years with 3 grown folks plus Phibes living there. It's not the same but we lived in a condo that was 1000 SF for about 11 years before moving to our current house. We wanted the extra space spread out a bit, without it being too much to keep clean. We're very much enjoying it.
