We have a few options:
1. Be content with what we have--even though the two bedrooms are 9x7 with no closets. That would be the worst that could happen and we could live with that option if we had to do so. But we are fairly certain we will be retiring to Two Holt and a little more space would be much appreciated.
2. We could sell Two Holt and buy something bigger...which neither of us wants to do since we've bonded with this place.
3. We could reclaim land by taking out our current driveway and parking pad. We could turn that into a landscaped sitting area with an outdoor fireplace or fire pit. I kind of like that option, but I'm not sure of the cost.
4. We could buy the lot behind us that is now on the market, but the owner wants a ridiculously high amount and our offer would be 1/2 of his asking price. That's not likely to happen even though it would give us the additional land amount needed to allow our building plans.
So, for now, we will keep saving for an addition that might not happen. But I'm ok with that, too. Que sera, sera--and I will be content. It's Two Holt...how could I not be content?
