@LWheeler7 Yeah – I’d have one “Household” object for every household, and then create an association to contacts from that object.
In case you haven’t seen, they have relatively recently introduced the ability to setup custom object types from within the UI, which means you no longer need to mess around with API calls etc, making it much easier to setup.
I’d highly recommend the custom object approach – it’s helped us structure our data soooo much better.
