Our family consists of 6 children, my wife and myself, and our cat. Our family home has 1350 sq feet of living space on each of it’s two floors. We have 6 bedrooms and 2 full baths. All of those children, and I’m not even a Mormon (rofling).

I am extremely thankful to the Lord for supplying me with all the space our family needs to grow comfortably. He has blessed us in great measure, in His preparation for the mighty work prepared for each one of us.

Well, I feel better. I feel crowded in our small house, and a bit self concious about it, but I don’t think I should be, when I see places where people live in WAY smaller places (but oh I would love a school room!) You have good points and I would love to pick your brain on how it has been with that number of children in your small home. We currently have three children and of course plan on increasing our family size to as many as will come, though I have my doubts we will have too many more due to my PCOS, but either way, I know we will have more and at least one more will be in this home, so that will be 4 children in a small 2 bedroom home (although if we ate able, we will expand that by finishing our basement).

Well it is the “final Frontier”, yet unlike land – space continues to increase.

After 12 years and 7 children later, our family of nine is currently getting ready to move out of 750 sq’ and downsize to an RV or a BUS. The plan is for it to be temporary. But truly space can be overated I think.

Well, my hat is off to you, that is truly suffering for the cause. Not just your self-sacrifice either, but that of your wife and children as well. I know I could not bear to have my family live in such small quarters.

Good for you, sir!

We will sell it when we are near the end of our term.

When purchasing a home one thing to keep in mind is that it is just that a house. Do not get attached and sell it as soon as the price is right. In your neighbourhood the best you can hope for is multi-family dwelling developments to buy up the block, and you to make a financial killing.

By the way, one of my vehicles is a ’03 Windstar too. Good Choice for a family man!

Sounds like you are enjoying owning a home. That is great.

Average is between 1250 and 1750 sq ft. The lot is a standard size for our neighbourhood.

No, it’s a small house. Right now the prices are rising. But this was all we could afford.
