Heh, it was just the other day that I warned someone on this board not to use WEP wireless encryption. This would be a good example of why.

That’s a nice 10 story house you’ve got there! :3

Probably the dimensions he gave were wrong, not just off by a factor of 10. You could only fit 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms into 800 square feet if every room was 8x10 feet and you had no living room, kitchen, or hallways. FTR, I just googled a few 2bed2bath homes and they appear to range in size from 800 (bare minimum) to 1200 sq.ft.

Yup, 2 bed 1 bath .. master bedroom is 9x11, second is 9x9. Did I mention there are no closets? :rolleyes:

That is sort of why we converted the top floor of the barn to a studio for our roomie.

A 9x9 closet seems reasonable. A whole bedroom? ☹

Pretty much, we use the second bedroom as a closet but we went ahead and bought a couple IKEA wardrobe solutions that we are going to put in when we bash down the wall between the 2 rooms. They will make 1 nice bedroom.
