Been there done that! One *MAJOR* factor I overlooked when my wife and I were house-hunting back in the Spring of 2000: Climate control. Since it was late May when we toured the house we're currently living in, I simply looked at the empty 2-car garage and thought, "Cool---24by22---plenty of space---nada problem!" Later, when we had bought the house and moved in, I experienced a late-July heat wave and couldn't handle any prolonged stays in the garage. Same issue in winter except opposite end of thermometer. And of course I foolishly didn't budget for the expenses of having the walls and ceiling insulated, or a separate electrical circuit for the heat pump. The net result: My new layout STILL hasn't been built. Hopefully this will change soon, as I just inherited a few thousand from my late mother's estate. Bottom line: Always consider temp/humidity control in addition to square footage when shopping for a layout-friendly new home.
