It was a real bummer how the project came to be. Great thing is how it IS today. It really goes to show how you persevered and made something worthy. That is one heck of a space. I bet you are so proud of it I know I'd be in there so much my partner would probably take out a missing persons
Yes, I'm very pleased with it. It's been something that I've been thinking about doing for years, and I'm glad I finally got the boost needed to get the space I wanted. I wish I could spend longer down there but home-schooling the kids and my own part-time work prevent me from getting as much time as I'd like. Soon, hopefully.
I've got an internet connection down there, so I can work on my PC if I need to but it's a bit flaky (ethernet over powerline) and even with the insulation and heating it's a bit cold for sitting still when it's 2 or 3 °C outside.
