Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You could also rent tents and heaters for outside space if that big. But the kitchenspace looks sufficient to me (but I'm used to rowhouse, so tripping over people not a thing,)
Dad is back on water board and running a campaign in a stealth election for soil & conservation board. He drew first listing on the ballot and Sierra Club is rallying supporters. Tea partiers aren't going to know what happened to them. It doesn't do much, but could if it wasn't resolutely antigovt. This will be interesting.
Well, we're living in 900 now so it felt pretty spacious! And that 1309 doesn't include the basement.
The other house we saw was bigger, but had a really awkward upstairs layout - there were four huge bedrooms, but they all kind of just opened up onto the landing, there was no real hallway to separate any of them. It was also more expensive and needed a LOT more work.
We manage pretty well with 1330 sq ft. Yes, hosting a big group means some squeezing, but we've done Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and brunches, and done just fine.
Gris, how are you all feeling today?
That's a beautiful house, Jess.
Lovely, Jess, and the price! Oy.
So I was going to host Sunday dinner at my sister's house, with my nieces & some friends of theirs & my Dad, and round about 3 PM the urghy feeling in my belly graduated from mild discomfort to actual nausea. I ended up spending all afternoon on the futon, alternately sleeping and reading Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief.
Happily, my niece came by to pick up the pie & bread I had made, and the chicken I had bought to cook, so they all had a nice dinner. I had ginger ale and half a banana. :-(
I hope you feel better soon, 'suela.
Jess, that house is great! I'm floored at the taxes though. I thought metro DC was bad.
We have a house smaller than that and host big groups without a problem. It looks awesome! And reasonably priced!
That's a beautiful house, and that kitchen looks plenty big for entertaining, especially if things can spill over into the living room and/or the patio.
Ugh, feel better, Consuela.
Very nice house, Jess! Walking to Metro North would be a huge selling point for me.
What a great house, Jess. The layout should work fine for large gatherings. Lots can happen with tray tables and card tables in inside weather and plenty of outside room for good weather. Library, and transport access! Price looks great to this Floridian, but the taxes are way higher than here.
Monday Monday. Yeah, that.
