We don't have a lot of large furniture - 2 beds (one double, one single), a two seater sofa and armchair, drinks cabinet, chest of drawers and several bookcases. Its all the boxes of stuff that add up too - kitchen equipment, soft furnishings, books, clothes, work tools, computer equipment, personal effects etc. I am having a tough time 'getting rid' of stuff!
Any advice would help - if you crammed everything from a three bed house in one, I would love to know!

WE have been here 3 years and lover every min of it.
Something else to think about too is the garage has 240 volts that is easy to loop off with a breaker and then all tools will work etc
