James,
Where there's a will, there's a way.
I betcha my house is smaller than yours..... a 12X45 redneck trailer house.
I have two cocos and two PCs active in this place.
I have a darkroom in which I can make prints from a 4X5 negative up to 4.5
feet wide and 3.5 feet high.
My living room has a sofa, an arm chair a 27" TV, and a decent sound
system..
HEHE! My kitchen is small, but how much room do you need to cook a meal?
Bedroom is small too. How much room to sleep?
Of course, I remodeled the whole danged interior for this scenario..
Where there's a will....
There are no problems, only challenges.
Make that coco happen!!!
I gotta tell all, this thread has bee FUN! I love it!
George
