That’s actually a very good question…

There are several things I probably would do different in retrspect, but they are mostly just minor inconveniences such as an additional outlet somewhere, etc. Probably the biggest thing I would have done different is to have created a larger, enclosed patio area for BBQs and get togethers with friends.

While the area we built looks and works great, it’s really only designed for about 12 to 14 people maximum and even after some minor remodeling to a step down storage area to convert it into a semi-private conversation area that can accommodate another 4 or 5 people, we still end up having to restrict our invites accordingly. If I could go back in time, I’d probably have made it twice as large.

People love to get together with friends down here and most of them accept your invites, even on short notice. That’s quite different from my life up north of the border where most people simply don’t have time in their busy schedules for such short notice get togethers.

Everything else about the house I love and we continue to enjoy after all these years…
