I moved into Pup's house in November of 2008 after a whirlwind of a remodel.
We both owned houses and had thought that we'd sell them and buy a new house and we could start our new life together.
But the market fell to crap and after a brief foray into becoming landlords (that was scary scary scary) we decided to rent my house to my daughter and her husband and I'd move into Pup's house, but we'd have to do some remodeling.
We did it so fast it made our heads spin. We wanted to get it done before the Minnesota winter hit with a vengeance.
We decided to do the office (we had to squeeze me in there), the bathroom, the kitchen, and enclose the loft for sound.

Not that much was really done
in the loft. It probably will change substantially in the next year or so when we do the man-den and, finally, a deck off the loft. I may do a little something up there. You know how it is!

Don't let him fool you - these are in our bedroom (loft) and he can visit them any time he wants. He does like to sit there and supervise any chores that are going on in the bedroom. He's bossy that way. Ha!
Pay no attention to the cat box. There is a long, painful story about that. I will not share.  |

You would not believe how I had to fight with the contractor to put in the windows and the glass door. He thought they wouldn't give us any privacy. Light comes in from the loft to the living space below. And we can open the windows for airflow. I love how it turned out!
