Shoot thats not bad. I am not lokoing for an eat in kitchen. Most of the kitchens we looked at had 0 counter space, once you put a coffe maker and microwave out. It was seriously rediculous. We're talking Kitchens with all the appliances squeezed into a 8x8 room sometimes smaller. So long as there is counter space and enough room for 2 people to be in there I am fine with a kitchen. Its when you have to constantly say excuse me to your wife in the kitchen I ca't stand it. > The garage is actually wide enough for two cars but only has a one-car > door > (very common for basement garages).

See in Cincinnati a good majority of the houses were built without a garage then some people put on crappy (need serious repairs now) car ports onto the side of thier houses. I think of the houses we looked at only about 10 or so (most made post 1970) had 2 car garages. One of those houses even had a Beautifuly remodeled kitchen, but the rest of the house just kinda sucked it was the biggest disappointment it had 4 rooms (plus a bedroom in the basement that I don;t think could really be counted as a bedroom) but they were all 10x10 or smaller, except for the quasi room in the basement. Oh and the bathroom, seriosuly nasty mildew in plain sight. The master bedroom might please you however: 12x15 (the other bedrooms are > 12x14 and 12x10). All have decent (but not-walk-in) closets and all are > very recently renovated (the walls are pristine - I hate old walls with > lots > of screw holes and stains). That where the big failure was in the houses around here, though while we were building I found a few houses that really were fairly nice in Springdale (about 20 minutes north of Downtown Cincinnati), Master betrooms ussually didn;t reach 12x10 and second and thrids were ussually tiny like 10x9. Our house, while not huge, boasts a 12x14 master bedroom with full bath (with spacious walkin 7x4 estimate) and den (or 2nd bedroom) that is 10x12 and a guest (3rd bedroom) 10x11 (though the space kind of got cheaped b/c of the closest. Once the kids are gone the family room is big enough for a pool table as > well... not a necessity, but it's a nice idea. ;^) Thats what the mold free ;) basement is for bro and a bar, a wet bar with a keg, and a stipper pole, err umm atleast the keg. The house really does sound nice I just hope the mold works out. For me I wouldn;t care about the type of mold honeslty I just wouldn;t want to have to deal with it so I'd probably just mvoe on but I am a lazy when it comes to fixing something in a house I didn;t cause ;) Hell we've been in our house for 3 weeks now and we still have temporary blinds in the bedroom and no blinds anywhere else, though thats going to change tonight.
