Hmm. I don't know what to think about the cleaning situation. I think it will be somewhat easier to clean after we've thrown out or donated a ton of our stuff and then moved into a place we actually fit into...on the other hand, of course that's more space to clean.
I typically sweep, spot-mop and vaccum daily, along with a couple of loads of dishes and laundry and some counter and table scrubbing. We don't usually have a "Cleaning day" - if anything on the weekends we slack off to go places with Grant and then I have to work harder than usual on Monday to have things back to normal maintenance again by Tuesday...
I am not a neat freak and don't really care if there's dust on the ceiling fans or fingerprints all over the french doors, but I still already spend a sick and twisted amount of my life cleaning. Grant and I double teamed this house for over 2 hours this morning before the financial advisor got here, and it was still back to clutter strewn on every floor, dining table and counters piled with stuff and carpets crumb littered by this evening.
Anyway....4000 square feet is crazy! The 3000 square foot houses we've been looking at seem insanely massive to me - there was a 3400 one that would feel like a mansion to me.
Pool care is honestly not something we had factored in until today - we were thinking about the time and money associated with that for the first time.
