lol, anguish, thanks for that man.
You're right, I don't NEED to add that much to the house; that's what I WANT to do to add to house. One of the things we do is build buildings and I always look at it this way - get every bit of space you think you'll ever need or want or use when you build from the start - adding it later is much more expensive. And there are complications with our location and slope (west texas is mostly flat and that messes with peoples heads). It will probably be pared down, by half or more; but somethings gotta move. Thank you for your input, seriously.
