Tennis court anyone?
Requires a flat (ish) 60x120 clearing... not sure we're going to have that to spare...

The latest hurdle cleared
We're including an apartment for Mom in the new house; we introduced Mom to our architect, Jim, yesterday and all is well - they hit it off perfectly. Mom now refers to him as "our" architect.
The four of us did a walk-through of the existing house, to talk about elements that work and that could be transferred to the new house. We also looked at possible pieces of the old house to save and incorporate into the new house - beams and stones and the like. We think honoring the old house in the new is a good idea.
And we have a survey of our buildable space now! Things are moving, albeit slowly. Slow is good, I think. These are momentous decisions and it is best not to rush things.
