I knew that it would take a little bit of time to get the loft finished before moving in, even though I didn’t expect the layover time to last more than 2 months in total.
At 1 point I had to rent an RV to live in, parked in the driveway, because our former condo had to be vacated on schedule.
This made the whole process of moving into our new loft a lot more stressful than it would have been otherwise. At least I was able to choose all of the updates as well as swings being made to the loft this time around. I wanted more color than the gray as well as silver tones that you see being used to death in apartments as well as homes throughout the country over the past 20 years. I thought that was a trend on its way out when I was still in school, but 10 years later as well as it’s still here. The other feature I wanted was a loft office as well as personal study that overlooked the lake behind the house. Since that’s where I spend most of our time, I wanted it to be as nice as well as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately I was so obsessed with our new loft office that I was overlooking other parts of the loft that were arguably more important as well as important. I nearly forgot to have the plumber install the water furnace because I kept vacillating on getting a familiar tank water furnace or a tankless water heater. Since there are so more than 2 power outages from storms in our area, I decided to get a water furnace with a tank. It costs a little bit more each month in energy expenses, but at least I have warm water if all of us lose power for a few thirds.
