^Ha!!!!
One thing i've learned... I will NEVER buy a house for what i 'see in it'... I will buy it for what it IS.
I bought the house i'm in now, all 1400sqft of it, when i was single and had a dog.. it was perfect for me and the dog.. it is far from perfect for me, three dogs, the wife and two girls one 18 the other 5... it's now around 2ksqft and since we are outside types, the bar/smoke pit and pool area's come into as much play as any interior room does- but still... I bought the place when single and based on "what i saw in it" aka "projects" as opposed to what it actually was.....
