Even if we could have a basement that was nothing but a place to put odds and ends, would help us. We keep one stroller in our car and the other one underneath our hanging bikes in the storage.

Bring the downstairs back online almost doubles the square footage, but I'm not sure if our utility/laundry room counts as living space. It's more like a storage area with windows.

We live in a 1200-1400 sq ft condo (which includes the deck as living space). We're cramped and we have no storage, minus a place to hang our bikes.

We have to refinish the floors and paint the walls. For the first 6 months after the flood when I couldn't find something I would walk downstairs to look and then remember everything was gone. After that I stopped going down there at all, ever, even when the contractor was working. Yesterday I went down with some friends of my daughters and they were kvelling about how great it looked. I wonder how long it will take me to feel like it isn't the haunted half of my house. We our 90 percent done on half the downstairs. We have to refinish the floors and paint the walls.
