The Beginning!!!

Howdy y'all ☺

The workers came yesterday and started on converting our "spare garage" into my sewing room! Here are a couple of pictures to show you what we're working with. As you can see, we have a bunch of stuff to get rid of or make room for. You can also see that all of the outlets were placed yesterday, even though electricity hasn't been run to the building yet. I will have a total of 24 outlets! The men are currently working on putting in the first of three windows plus a walk-in door. Suppoesly, it's going to take them about 2 weeks to get their part of the renovation done. Well...enough of me rambling on and on. Here are the pictures!! 😃

What an exciting time for you!! I am looking forward to hearing the progress of your new room!

Looks like fun times ahead. Who is going to take all your "old hobbies" to the goodwill or landfill? We only have room for fabric, sewing machines, and cutting tables! LOL :hug:

Jane, those are all things that my in-laws had stored in there. Most of it will be sold, but the shelves will go into our attached garage!

Oh, it's going to be fun watching the progress. If it were me I'd get first dubs on the shelves for the time being. You might be able to use them. If not, you can always send them to the garage later.

I share your excitement...we raised the ceiling on our two-car garage in January to put in dormers to create a sewing room (since I have taken over the two spare bedrooms). We have had an unusually cold spring and several snow storms which have delayed the progress but I hope to have it done end of April.

You were smart to have so many outlets installed. Can't wait to see your arrangement and the transition as it unfolds. Congrats.

That will be a really nice space! Keep us posted as to progress. So interesting!!

Agree on the shelves. If the pink cabinet is working redoing it would be beautiful. Good luck.
