[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My side of family Great grandparents raised 8 kids lived in a small unheated loft above barn, no water, heat, electric Grandparents raised 5 kids in a small two bedroom house no heat electric or water Me raised 3 kids in 1,300 sf house with heat, water, electric My kids want 5,000 sf to raise their 1.5 kids plus a beach house [/quote] Off-topic but curious about the loft. It sounds like traditional homes in the Alps. I’m imagining the illustrations from my childhood copy of “Heidi”. Was it in the US?[/quote] It was actually in Ireland and was literally above the barn. On cold night they bring the animals in for heat. Back then the English taxed the Irish if they had windows so was dark and up a ladder and slept on straw. That place was literally from potato famine days [/quote]
