My husband did this for me 6 years ago. We too, had downsized, but we went way to far. I was trying to exsist in a 12 x 10 room. tv, computer, serger, sewing machine and embroidery machine. I I had gained a pound I would have been in trouble. Now I have almost 1500 sq. feet of sewing and quilting studio. I knew there was some reason I stuck with him for 52 years.
