In reply to Lisa G Erdmann. I agree that Wes should get the first consideration in this house. We're not doing anything major yet though because we know, eventually, we will add on. Until we have "the big picture" plan, I'm not tearing out any walls or doing any big projects. For now, we're just making what is here work as best as we can.

I see a common theme of you feeling Wes gets the short end of the stick. So I say after you get your shop sorted our that the 1st room you tackle in the house would be the kitchen. Win win all the way around. Excited for your new journey and can’t wait to see what you do with that quirky house.

In reply to Jordan. LOL A window with his monogram "fell into his lap". So funny! Also, I'm really glad no one has ended up in the hospital! Good luck! Sounds like we both need it.

I have to agree with your implied theory that the original owner might have been the builder. My sister lives in a house that was built by an old school contractor and it’s super weird. It’s well build in that walls aren’t falling down, but super strange layout issues. We think it’s partly a generational thing, like the contractor ended up with windows from a project and felt compelled to use the “perfectly good windows” so they wouldn’t “go to waste.” Imagine his luck when that monogram window fell into his lap and someone in his family had the same initial! I’m sure he thought it was architectural genius when he came up with the plan to install it so “uniquely.” Lol! I’m looking forward to your workshop posts, I am doing exactly what you did before. I just don’t want to put anything inside my house on hold to deal with my overflowing garage and it’s starting to cause injuries and broken objects. I mean, no one’s had to go to the hospital or anything, but a lot tripping, dropping stuff, and things falling off of piles. Thanks for keeping me motivated!
