but I'd put in a couple baths, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room and family room. That'd make a 2,000 square foot apartment. Then my family will move in since it would be an upgrade to the house we're currently in.

Who cares? I don't know you. For all you know, I could be a computer program

You're right, you don't know me. But you care enough about this "virtual world"

You were offended by my first post?

Nope. But if you look down the thread, you'll find plenty of people

Seriously, everything after the first paragraph is complaining about your house.

What would you have done with the room? I want a theater room, but I bet my wife

Likely NJ. All the CBers from there are filthy rich.

Am I rich? No. Do I make a lot of money? No. Have I bought low and sold high?

Well, for that to be the case, I'd probably need to move the house to a town

We used it as a game room.
