How Many Square Feet Of Living Area Are In The House/Apartment Etc Where You Live?

Poll coming...

d4t you are def getting some info now, lol,dt:hypercoffee

I hope you'll be doing the charts, analysis, and be providing a presentation for us on the demographics of AFF. :)

five folks over 3000 sf...hmmmmm.
I am starting to wonder if we should have a polygraph certificate option as well:killinme

D4T, while you are on AFF demographic development duty,
how about asking our folks to provide their utility bills:nah

LOL...

I started one poll... I have started 3 others at the behest of other AFFers... I think I am through though. :)

I am retiring from the demographic pollster position. I have learned that I am materialistic... I am up to something greater that will surface in time etc... I have decided that such a terribly materialistic and sneaky individual such as myself shouldn't continue in the vein. :)

You are welcome to start one though... :)

D4T, I feel your pain *biting my lip just like Bill Clinton always did*. I read over on another thread in the series that your additional starts came from posting feedback...you obliged...and our deep seated suspicsions became more and more openly expressed.

Thanks for trying something different. These little experiments are helpful and we don't need to read too much into the outcomes, one way or the other.

The results do seem to point to something quite different then 'pennycostals' meeting at the 'ol brush arbor.

So folks, if you care to toss in your monthly utilities in your area of the country and your size house....I'll go first...
1500 sf
monthly average $290.00,
central air approx 90 days/yr
central heat via NG approx 150 days/yr
laundry and Hot water for six (6) persons

Indeed... I am glad to see so many are so financially blessed. Financial blessings do not equate to happiness or financial security... of course... but many have apparently worked very hard for what they have.

and here I was thinking you were just really bored

Well.. that probably did play a part in the first one... :)

We have approx. 5000 sq. ft on two levels (not including the finished full basement which is rented by tenants).

Property here is SO high that when they build homes, they're generally two story and build large.

We have 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, including jacuzzi and separate shower stall in the master suite and a separate small utility type kitchen besides the main kitchen area.

Heating is kept to a minimum and it doesn't get terribly cold here most of the winter. The fact there are tenants below who turn heat on helps keep our main level fairly warm. We're able to shut the kitchen, eating area and family room where we spend most of our time off from the rest of the main floor so that helps too.

Why does anybody, unless they have quite a few kids or extended family or for business reasons, need over 2000 square feet??

Its funny..."as a Yankee":sshhh, I always think of canada as being lots and lots and lots of land. I'm guessing you and TB aren't hanging out in the Yukon, Northwest, or Nunavut!

It seems strange that in a country with a government willing to give an entire province back to the native occupants, that land is still a premium.

thanks for the perspective.

just wondering....utility costs for your home and apartment? what fuel do you heat with?

I could see ministers who entertain overnight guests frequently needing additional square feet for a guest room, another bathroom, etc. Or do people just get hotel rooms these days?

That would be included in "business reasons". I think there are a lot of hotel stays nowadays though.

We have 3200 sq ft. I do have a small office for business, and am feverishly concocting ways to convince my wife to have more children.

Leave that woman alone. :)

Hey I do my part - I build the cradles.:hypercoffee

Oh... okay...

Well my apologies then. :)

Are you going to let her hire someone to help? Would she accept the help??

One of those Yankee boys, huh? LOL.

Canada does have LOTS of land. It's a huge country which you would know I'm sure. It's nice to meet a Yankee who actually knows something about the neighboring country - just across the border. Hehe. J/K! :D

We heat here with natural gas and probably over the course of the year our heating costs run about $3000 total for the whole house and $60/month for electric but 1/3 of that is shared by the tenants downstairs. We don't pay it all.

We're able to shut the kitchen/family room area where we spend most of the time off from the rest of the house and given the fact that the climate is fairly temperate here in winter and the fact that heat rises from downstairs and helps to keep this area warm, it helps.

I love our gas fireplace but came to realize it burns a lot of fuel so have cut back somewhat on the use of that.

Governments get some strange ideas sometimes, eh?

We almost exclusively have kept and still do keep visiting ministers and missionaries in our home - including the time we lived overseas.

At times that's meant putting one of our kids out of a bedroom or even ourselves on occasion (did that for Billy Cole when he stayed with us). Our kids just accepted it as being "normal". LOL. :)

The exceptions would be if we were hosting a conference and had several speakers.
