So, after many trips to the coast and a bit of $, Sam's unusable attic
has been re-worked into 2 bedrooms and a half (?) bath.

The most costly and difficult thing thing was the new requirement for AFCI circuit breakers.
The breaker for the 240 line (2 heaters) was $107 +shipping !

In any case, it's essentially done !!!

Taking your morning dump in a heated bathroom. Priceless

Reawaken thread for holiday weekend
 

After I re-did my entryway I started agitating for the permissions to build a new door. I wasn't getting my way until Pete hit a piece of gravel with the mower and shattered the glass door. Hooray! Full steam ahead. I built the door over the winter in my very limited free time. So here it is, still waiting on door handles...

Now that is neat !
Curved doors and frames have always intrigued me.

Did you do a paper-pattern, or all by pencil-n-paper ?
... combined with superior intellect ;)


Next year, Pete gets to dig the moat and you do the draw-bridge !

I used a string with a pencil tied to it... a board stock pattern would have been smarter. :)

Damn nice looking work! I so want to visit Grifftopia.

Thanks dude!

Gorgeous!

Love it. I can't imagine the sense of ownership and pride that must come from having built your own home. There are a dozen houses on our street with our same floor plan.

Thanks all. It started out as a way to reduce economic uncertainty but has become something more.

So very much more, and bear proof to boot. :thumb:

Grifftopia gets cooler every year. I hope you end up with at least one grandchild who is similarly inclined, who can take over the place and keep it in the family after you and Pete are done with it.

I never really thought about it that way... I pity the fool who does the upkeep on my ah, casual building style.
