<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 288633, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> A quick synopsis. Lived in a second floor brown stone in Brooklyn 12 ft ceilings, two fireplaces a study etc. Moved into a small 450 sq ft condo in Brooklyn, filled the place to the ceiling. Bought a 1905 farmhouse in Jersey, full walk up attic, full basement. 3 bedrooms glassed in solarium. Dining room Separate two car garage with full attic storage. Lot was 150 ft by 325 ft. Movers could not understand how the stuff from the condo filled the house and garage. They did not know about the stuff in the storage area and common patio area. Anyway it was fine for a while, then I got old and no more stairs so no 3 storey house. Moved to the Jersey shore and small house 2 bedroom 2 bath, living room, dining room and family room one car garage. Always had large yard sales twice a year. The last year I had a third which included 2/3s of the house. Would have purchased another house to hold all of the stuff I sold if I could have afforded it.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
