We moved into my parents' garage apartment last weekend & are still a adjusting & getting settled. You'd think settling into a ~ 600 sq ft apt wouldn't take so long. We have most of our stuffs in storage and mainly just showed up with a bunch of clothes and of course the beloved flat screen. ;p OH yeah...and the furballs. So much for kicking the pets out of the bedroom....the apartment is a studio set up. :) So, yes, we are all adjusting to living in small space again.
BUT.... the apartment is adorable & very comfortable AND free! We are soooooo very thankful that my parents are willing to offer it to us for the months it will take to build the next one. Once we actually start the process (we hope next month), we were told it will take 4-6 months to build....which I bet really means 6-10 months.
The commute is a little less for Hubby and a little longer for me. However, it is very beautiful here in my parents' neighborhood. We practically live in a forest now! So many beautiful trees!
The first picture was several years ago when they first bought it. The second one is a more recent pic. They have done a lot! In the first pic, you can see that there is an apt above the garage...that's where we now live and will for the next 6+ months....
All is well! Now we just need to get the next home started! I think we will enjoy our short time here in the woods. It's so pretty here! I'll try to take some recent photos & get them posted. :)

Nice place...let's hope they can convince you to move out after 6 months!
Yay on successfully selling your house! NOW. I wanna see pics of you all scrunched into that 600 sq ft space. :)
I'm so glad you two are there. How lovely for your parents to be able to see you more and vice versa :)
But we deffinitely need inside pics! please.....
It only took about 3 1/2 months to get our built....of course it's smaller..but hopefully your wait will be quick. Be sure and take pis along the way of the progress.
Hugs!!
Hi there! Haven't commented before but figured we're all a bit "Stalkerella" to quote our mutual friend Jen...so what the hey!
Your folks house looks amazing! What a beautiful setting to live in! Lucky you even if it is temporary at least you've got privacy.
Fi...xxx
Welcome, fi! :) You're right, we are all stalkarella at times. You are welcome to stop this here boring ol' blog anytime. :)
To you all: Thanks for your comments...I am still being a lazy responder...but i still love you all. :) I'll try to take some pics of the interior when we get more settled. Oh, and hubby told me this apt is actually more like 800 sq ft....so a little bigger than i thought. Still cute & cozy.
I'm home illin today. ugh
How beautiful! I wouldn't mind staying there at all, even if it WAS for 10 months. It's all going to be OK. I really feel that.
