Hi - Yes, we do live in 400 sq feet in winter - a one bedroom mobile home with great room & bath. It's just right - I can clean in 30 minutes. But we have to keep everything put away, all the time, or it becomes intolerable. Even my "big house" doesn't have quite 1400 sq feet.

Our senior center is still closed, so it's not an option for donations now, but we have a very active freecycle group in the community, and there are 2 active requests for a machine - one from a young Mom, so it will go to a good home. We have given away dozens of possessions to our neighbors over the past 2 years, and it's good to know items will be put to good use. The group rules allow me to decide who gets an item - not just the first to ask, so if I feel someone is just hoarding stuff, or turning around and selling it, I can give it to someone else. My kids use it too - much of the outdoor play equipment at both of our houses came from there.
Sue
