I have lived in a townhome before ...but I don't remember if the electricity was cheaper before (well with the gas prices going up & all).. so that is my big worry?????? Plus if I do move I need to pack like NOW!! The 1st is next Monday AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

P>S Hubby says whatever I want as long as I'm happy..well that doesn;t help much does it!

P.P.S My mom thinks it's better in a house but she loves yard work.. I get in my moods to love it at times... and plus no kids now and I usually for the most part never have anyone over so.....????????

Hmmmmmmm, just read this post and when you say no kids, now does that
mean you are planning to have children? If so, and if it was me, I definately would stay in the home. I don't neccessarily love yard work and all the up keep that I have to do, but I will admit it keeps me in shape and physically is good for me. I watched my in-laws go down hill after they moved into a town house. Dad just gave up and all he did was sit and watch tv, the remote became his excercise. I don't know your ages but if you are young ,healthy
and can keep up the household chores in owning a home, IMO it would be
easier just to replace the carpet with other, and even redo the yard to make it easier maintenance. I have all to do here cause my husband has progressive parkinsons. Weed wacking is the worst part for me as I have a lot of it to do, am talking about lots on the surrounding area as we live at the edge of a forest, I take a deep breath and ask God to help me get it done, what a team we are, we get a lot done together and in a hurry does he ever push wow, I couldn't do it without him. I am nearing 70 years of age, so am not a spring chicken but think the physical work don't really hurt me any Well, best to you in what ever you decide to do. Hope it all turns out what ever, to make you the happiest. Have a nice day. Patti

it is not my house I lease it, so I don't want to invest in someone else's property..... I know that would be easier huh... lol

No, I definately wouldn't to do that either, Well, since you don't have to sell and are wanting to give it a try, you might like a town home, if you don't, you can always move back into another house.

I have spent the last three years in a three story town house.... And I am so happy to have everything on one level again!!!!!

I fell down the stairs twice! Once breaking my Butt Bone Don't laugh! It really hurt! And to this day I can't sit through a movie! I'm that darn woman in front of you that won't sit still! lol

My daughter has fallen three times and Brian has only taken one mis-step and only slightly sprained his ankle.... And I don't even need to tell you how hard it is to get furniture in and out of the upper levels!!!

I think they are so cool looking and romantic... very fun! But there is no way you could get me back in to one ever again! No way!

But thats just me... and I'm 31.... so I'm young and fun... right??? well, this young and fun 31 would rather be safe and sound on the first floor!!!
