The only thing that drives me crazy is not having a lot of room, but the kids are outside a lot and most of our furniture is in storage, we only have the basics. I keep thinking how fantastic our new home is going to feel once we have moved in! We are living here during two builds (one for investment) so the money we will save on rent/mortgage interest payment if we hadn't of sold our own house is huge We converted a brick shed which already had 'rooms' separated as it was originally stables. I would recommend making it as nice as possible, we have lino and carpet, and I know this makes it seem more like a real home. We don't mind not having a real oven, we have one like you would have in a caravan and it's great, plus we also have camp ovens regularly, and that is great fun (we are on 8 acres). It has been quite good so far (5 months), I would definitely recommend it.
