Sounds like a great project Shep. I’m about to go stir crazy with not being able to gut the house I’m currently living in. BUT I promised Wes I wouldn’t start tearing while we’re living in it…so I need to get something else built in which we can temporarily live so I can gut the house! LOL

I do the work in my spare time. I own a business so that keeps me busy as well. Fortunately I am single, kids grown so no one to complain about the mess. I keep changing as I go, making a doorway wider, a window bigger and all makes it a better end result. So it is Saturday and I am off to Home Depot to buy more pricey studs.

I think that there are more of us who like to work this way than we realize! I too make plans on the computer and then adjust in the real world… flexibility is essential. 😉

Not only am I a girl, but I’m over 60. My sister and I are going to be framing a set of stairs to my loft over Halloween weekend. When I tell people I’m building steps (or anything for that matter) they give me such weird looks. Lol. But I love building. 🙂

I put it all on paper/computer, but then always change something as I go along and see the space. It helps to work with people who are ok with that approach and changing on the fly, because not everyone can be so accommodating.

Happy to see you’re making great progress! It’s fun to see the walls go up!
