Our Latest DIY Project

February 1, 2008

With the impending arrival of another baby we need to make some space in our third bedroom, and move our “office” somewhere else.

We’ve always said that we would convert our garage into another room, but as you can imagine this can cost a bit of money. So, in the interim we are going to divide up the garage with a partition wall. This room will then house our little “office”.

The partition wall will be accompanied by a simple floor, which will help insulate the newly created room from the cold concrete of the garage floor. It will be finished off with some carpet.

Building starts tomorrow with the help of my Dad. My Dad kindly came up the other day to get all of the materials so that we can start in earnest when my parents arrive on Saturday morning. The project will definitely not be finished in one weekend. It will probably take a few weekends work. All will be worth it in the end.

Hopefully the weather will improve tomorrow, and it will be a bit warmer than it is today. It is pretty cold here today, and with the wind it is even colder. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

I’ll post some updates as the work progresses.
