Building Walls

Niche-to-be

Additional storage area to right

We have officially entered the constructive phase, and it's just tremendous fun. Bogdon has been working hard on building walls in the attic. Essentially, the attic is created of two rooms with a load-bearing wall between them. We want to use the room nearest the outer wall for Michael's office (it has a view! It has a window!) and the interior room will have the stairwell from the lower floor, as well as storage space. Since the office will have climate control, we wanted to block off the storage space to reduce utility costs, as well as for aesthetic reasons: Michael wouldn't really enjoy working in what feels like a storage unit.

The stairwell (with the upper corridor open to it) is now complete, as is the wall to one of the storage areas. There was previously an opening between the newly-created storage room and Michael's office, which we have closed to create a niche for a printer or whatever.

So exciting!

Love,
