I'm upstairs too, good exercise if we look at it that way.
Getting the door is a mad dash.
I'm working on hubby to give me the double garage, it's under part of the house, into a nice big sewing room, but I want to buy a long arm and that takes a lot of space. Then we'd build a triple garage which he'd rather have & deeper, and attach it to the side of the house. I don't like having a garage under the upper house. We had kids a year ago, in nice neighborhoods, start cars on fire in garages under the upper level of a house, very bad in double ways.
I'm in the country now, but always think, what if. Plus, just would love to have that super large quilt room :> wish me luck, it be a project a year away yet, he gets a BIG shop first this spring.
