What would you change about your home if you found yourself living there alone?

[Spinneret]

a games room

 

[Meriweather]

clean out DH's office and use it for storage and stop paying for the storage unit

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Nothing

 

[Mousemom234]

I just changed house entirely.

 

[superme80]

I would sell. I am not taking care of property.

 

[Colleen27]

I'd probably sell. This place feels huge for 3 people, now that all of our older kids and bonuses have moved out. It would be ridiculous for just me.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Locks

 

[TippyThomas]

Nothing. I already live alone. Been alone since my parents passed.

 

[Sacahara]

More fish tanks!....although that was a bad idea the last time....20 tanks around the living room, while pretty, were a pain to do weekly water changes.....I might have to rethink that.

If I suddenly found myself living alone I don't think I'd change anything immediately. There is a LOT of yard work though, so I'd probably explore selling in a year or so after I adjusted to life alone.

 

[MIGrandma]

My location.

I don’t think I would be happy living in this big farmhouse out in the country if DH passed before me. Too big to take care of, too much that I have no idea HOW to take care of too. I would stay here a year though, in order to not make a rash decision, but then I think I would prefer an apartment in town, or a senior apartment, maybe even an assisted living place.

 

[RUDisney]

I would definitely downsize.

 

[cayennews]

It would be so much cleaner.

 

[tvguy]

Nothing. I might not clean the house as often as my wife insists, but no other changes.

 

[Boopuff]

If my DH were to pass, I'd sell. Right now this house is too much space for us, I'd probably sell, get a nice condo somewhere.

 

[loves to dive]

Another one who would sell. Our house is way too big for us, needs a lot of repairs and I hate the house and the location.

 

[OHmomof2]

I love our 100 year old home, but I would sell and get into a condo or apartment with some private outdoor space. Our home would be too much upkeep, inside and out, for just myself.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I would add more pets.
