Thank you Sharon! I think I’m going to really like the space once all the things are done. It is SO different from all the other houses I’ve renovated and we’ve lived in. Look at us, being adventurous! lol

Sooooo stressful! Glad that is over and Wes and I are really glad we didn’t try to move the piano in first! Once the deck is in it will be much easier.

Thanks so much! It’s very outside my typical style that I still look at it every day when I enter the space to make sure I really do like it. LOL

Thanks Jay! We’re getting very eager to move in…but hoping the deck and elevator are in soon because it’s going to be a major pain to bring groceries through my workshop and up all those stairs! 🙂

My plans have evolved a number of times over the last two years and I decided not to do any more “here’s the plan” posts while they kept changing.
Yes, when I refer to the Lodge, I’m talking about the upper half of that huge building. The lower half is all workshop space and where I plan to teach any classes. The upper space was always going to be a residential area and Wes and I were going to move up there while we renovated the small house on the property.
Our plan now is to use the Lodge as our main residence and rent out the small house. We still have 3 guest suites in the lodge though. With Covid being an ongoing thing, I’ll probably only have small pods visit at one time so it will work.

Right now I’m just so busy making this building a livable space I’m not thinking much about classes. Though, it is always in the back of my mind. The last two years have really thrown a lot of wrenches in the original plans. I’m still kind of waiting for the next one to hit. LOL That fear is fading slowly and I’m feeling more hopeful. Thanks for sticking with me!
