One thing we miss with all this upheaval is just somewhere to put our stuff. We had a whole basement, and we will have a shed eventually, but the closets in our bedrooms are teeny-tiny and the attic is full of loose insulation.

The shop attic.

We have been using the attic anyway, as well as cramming the attic space above Morgan’s shop, but when we lost our front door we also gained a nice walk-in closet, which will eventually be for the master bedroom that our living room becomes.

The new walk-in, as seen through the old front door.

You wouldn’t believe how nice that 8x6sf space is to have– I don’t have to grab a ladder for every little thing that I don’t want out in my living space– coolers, totes, wrapping paper… Now, if I had a private working area to wrap presents in!
