One day I would like to live in a very small very simple cabin that is about 300 sq feet tops...but with alot of land. I don't think I need any more than that for just me and DH...heck we'll build two so that the family has room to stay if they come visit. I have been doing alot of research on them, and actually went to see one in my city that the people used and lived in for a year while they built thier permanant home... that would have been my permanant home...It was so cute and cozy in there!
depends.. if the couple continues to live in the house - I'd say 15 - especially if they are big standard hens... and, if I may, I'd recommend a central vacuum system to ease cohabitation...
