So when we were looking at buying our first home in February (the one in which we now live), the fact sheet said 1637 sq. ft. We thought, okay so this is what 1600 sq ft feels like. We bought the home and haven't thought much more of it until we started thinking that maybe we could finish off the 28'x14' garage and add nearly 400 sq. ft. giving us almost 2000 sq. ft. of living space, then add a 2 car garage in the back.. So my neighbor is a real estate agent and buddy of mine and I ask him if he thought it was a good idea and so we measure the sq. footage of the house...... it measures just over 1400 sq. ft.

I think I'm going to ask the sellers for what I paid for.. I want an extra 200 sq. ft. or give me back 200 sq. ft. worth of the home. effers.

That said, we're happy with the house and it's plenty of space for what we need. We just thought we were buying more.
