For now
In trying to
keep my mind off ‘ current events’ (both family and national) I have lost
myself in creating a 2 BR apartment in the basement of our ‘other’ condo. Also in the planning stages is a move for us.
Above is the basement I am working on now.... This shot is just inside the open garage door on the right in the top picture.
Background:
years ago we bought what we planned as our retirement home. An old house with
several add on’s (LOL). We added a big carport for the motor home. We actually never actually moved into the
place but lived in our motor home in the back yard. We finally sold it to our Granddaughter, and
moved back here to our original condo. WE own the two condos (actually this is
a glorified ‘duplex’ I built over 30 years ago), we traveled for years on the
income from the two condos.
We
approached Sherece our Granddaughter
about a trade. We suggested she move here into the Condo and we take her
home back as our retirement home. It is
a little complicated, but she is agreeable to the trade. She lived here once as
a teenager with her family for about a year while her dad (our son Mark) built
their home. She really likes the place
and I think her daughter Stella is very happy with the possibility. Stella
starts HS next year and this place is pretty close to the High School. Stella is looking forward to claiming her
mama’s old bedroom as her own.
The condo is
valued a little more than the home. The
condo is in the city limits, the home is not. There are pros and cons about
being in the city limits.
I have been
trying to put this entry together for a few days. I will try to take some
pictures of the bathroom, it is finished. The electrical is done, the drywall
is hung finished and mostly painted. It needs flooring and a ceiling. Since I
said that the ceiling is 90% in place.
I cut thru
12” concrete block to put an entry door in place.
