[quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN] . . . My brother’s house (built in 2012), although it’s only 100 sq-ft smaller than mine, no way can hold the kind of party mine get. No way can he fit a table that can sit 14-18 people or have room for that many people to sit.[/quote]

Could it be because your brother’s house has a lot more walls? :={[/quote]
Funny thing is, NO. He has less wall (hard as it may seems, since I live in Mira Mesa, where we suppose to not have any wall). Actually, he has NO interior wall on the first floor (except to enclose a powder room).
