Sorry for your loss and glad that you have each other to get through the tough time.
Happy planning on the room switch. Sounds like a lot of work but it will be worth it in the end.
Funny, in our relationship, I'm the planner. I write all our house remodel plans in a book and that book goes everywhere as a reference. Pat laughs at me, because I will stop a sales person in his pitch, pull out my book and start taking notes. I have avoided some very costly mistakes that way. When we are in a pickle, Pat often says: Let's take a look in that book of yours.
