Hi,
I don't know if this has been discussed before.... :)

They are re-running season 1 (Europe) and I have been wondering
about how many bedrooms there are.

Very first episode: (Annies parents come to visit)
1: Mary and Lucy's room
2: Ruthie's room (occupied by Annie's parents)
3: Simon's room: he gets a bunckbed and has to share his room with Ruthie
4. Matt's room
5. Master bedroom
= 5 bedrooms
A few episodes later, Eric's parents come to visit:
Ruthie has not moved out of Simon's room, for no apparent reason!
So, her room is still empty.
The colonel and Ruth get the master bedroom,
Eric and Annie sleep in Matt's room (would be romantic, if his parents
weren't next door ;) )
Matt has to sleep on the couch.
WHY???
What did I miss.
Not to mention, that George sleeps in the bunkbed with Simon, and Ruthie
doesn't want to share a bed with him, and prefers to sleep on the couch with
Matt......

I haven't seen the one where Eric's parents come to visit yet, but is it
after the twins are born? I know the twins apparently have one of the
rooms.

Then don't forget later on they have the Attic (how long as this been Matt's
room, because I know Lucy & Mary change it up after he moves out.)

And of course the Garage. I am still confused who is living in the Garage?
This season they had that sit-in protest to fight over who gets the
garage.... but I don't see anyone living in there. ???

In the current season in the USA

Parents' room

Matt and Robbie

Simon

the twins

Mary and Lucy in the remodled attic

Where's Ruthie's room? Aren't Matt and Robbie in her room with all the
"kitty" stuff?

Nobody's above the garage yet.

Isn't Ruthie and Lucy sharing the attic or did Ruthie move again when Mary
came back?

No, this is season 1.
When the twins are born, Lucy and Mary move into the attic to make room for
the twins.

I think Ruthie is sharing the attic with Mary and Lucy. She moved in with
Lucy when Robbie moved in.

Ruthie's kitty stuff is still in her old room, which is being shared now by
Robbie and Matt.

So how come no one is using the place above the garage? After they all
fought so hard to get it, and then no one got it?

In the first few seasons it was like this:

Eric and Annie
Lucy and Mary shared a room
Simon and Ruthie shared a room
Matt

Later it happened like this:

Parents
Lucy and Mary
Simon got Matts room
Ruthie got the room she shared w/Simon
Matt got the attic

Then it was like this:

Parents
Matt moved out on his own
Lucy and Mary got the attic
Simon was still in Matts old room
Lucy was still in the same room she shared with Simon

THEN!!! It was like this:
Twins were born
Mary moved away

So the setup was like this:

Parents
Ruthie moved into Mary and Lucy's old room
Simon still had his own room which was Matts old room
Lucy were in the attic
the twins were in Ruthie's old room

THEN!!! There's more....

Matt moved back in and so did Robbie. And later Mary came back...so here is the
current setup:

Parents
Lucy, Mary and Ruthie all share the attic
Robbie and Matt are in Ruthie's old room which was Lucy and Mary's old room
Simon is in his own room which used to be Matt's
the Twins are in Ruthie and Simon's old room that they shared in the beginning

NOBODY IS IN THE GARAGE!!!

Wow, musical rooms.
But your last sentence still brings me back to my original question ... WHY
is nobody in the garage? :-)

They had this whole episode focused on this strike for the Garage, all the
Camden kids were fighting over who got to live here. I think I missed the
ending of that show, but the last part I remember was one by one they got
"voted out" and had to apologize to mom. I am thinking Ruthie won, but I
don't remember.

But now, no one is living there. Why are there all these doubling ups, and
even tripling up in the attic, when the room above the garage is there?

I was just curious if I missed an episode where they all decided that nobody
wanted the room? or if Annie banned them all from having it at all? :-)

yes, but in the first episode Simon and Ruthie had their own rooms.
Ruthie only moved in with Simon to make room for Annie's parents.
Ruthie then stayed with Simon.

It looks to me that the garage has never really been finished. The
entrance is still through a trap door in the floor. The walls haven't
been finished. Are there any windows? Is there a bathroom?

Okay, I'm a tad behind in my syndie watching, so I just caught the episode
with pregnant Renae (and Happy eating dad's shoes) last night. In that
eppi, MATT AND SIMON shared a room! Simon woke up in the night and was
confused by Matt's absence (he was staying out all night at Renae's).

That would suggest that it is:

Mom and Dad
Mary and Lucy
Matt and Simon
Ruthie

So when/why do they make Simon and Ruthie roomates? It's not like there
ever was a "Mom and Dad, I'm the oldest, I need my own room" episode for
Matt in which Simon switched to Ruthie's room...

Hi Christine...

From your name I can only guess that you are German. So I want to tell you
this in German:

Mensch... einen Kopf machst du dir...

Well... nice thought about the rooms, but I guess that it's really
unimportant... the main thing is: It was fun to see them sleeping in Matt's
room... It was waaaay better than seeing them in their own room talking
about the days happenings (booooooring)...

Have a nice day
Nicko

ummm, read the first post in this thread ;)
Ruthie moved in with Simon, because they needed room for Annie's parents.
That happened in the first episode!!
And there are still 5 bedrooms.
Mary and Lucy
Mom and Dad
two rooms that are connected with a slide door
and Matt's room

when you are looking at Mary and Lucy's room from the floor
the connected bedrooms are on the left and Matt's (later Simon's) room is on
the right.

But that conflicts with what I just said! If the Renae episode was going
to insinuate that Matt and Simon share a room, why didn't the 1st episode
say Ruthie would be moving in with Simon AND Matt? (Because that would
have seemed bizarre and the obvious choice would have been to put her in
with Mary and Lucy). The point is, there's no consistency in Season 1
about who sleeps with whom or how many rooms there are unless the Renae
episode is a fluke or there's some reason I don't remember why Simon has
temporarily moved out of his/Ruthie's room and into Matt's...

Maybe it's something Happy-pregnancy-related?

The garage comes into play in later episodes. Lucy and her husband move in there at some point.

Matt and Simon originally shared a room. Then Simon moved in with ruthie so matt had his own room. Mary and Lucy shared a room. And then the parents bedroom. Eventually matt moves to attic and Simon into Matt's room. And then matt moves out and mary and Lucy move to attic. Ruthie moves to Mary and Lucy's room and the twins into ruthies room.
