This past Saturday we turned our very small closet under the stairs into a cozy home office. We have moved our "home office" a million times, trying to avoid certain two-year olds that like to tear all of the keys off of the laptop keyboard, and trying to keep it fairly accessible. We have had it in the bonus room above the garage (not accessible enough to be used), in our bedroom, in our guest room, and in the dining room (too accessible for wandering children). I recently had the idea to see if it would fit in this closet --that had a child-proof door handle -- and is in a very convenient location, right off the living area. I showed Rob my idea, and he came up with a plan to make it work.
The main problem with the closet, was that there was no outlet for the computer and printer. That was NO problemo for my husband the brand new electrician!! We added an outlet and custom built a desk to fit the small area, and viola! I am in here now typing away!! We still need to do some finishing touches like painting the desk area, but it is working out GREAT!!
(Did I mention that my husband is now a licensed
Electrician, and we have started our own business ?? just checking;) you never know when you'll need a good electrician!)

That is awesome---It is amazing how we learn to do what we have to do with what we have to do it with. People that have everything miss out on sooo much! Pop
