Tara is getting her bonus this week in the form of a bonus room over our garage. Tara's existing attic is downright huge, running the length of the house. With a little creativity, you could easily set up a game of touch football up there. Okay, it would have to be touch football for vertically challenged individuals because of the way the roof slopes, but you get the idea.
Rhett decided it would be easy to take half of the gigantic attic and make a family/bonus room. Why not? And so the roof comes off.
Darling Rhett tore up the old subfloor and put down some studier stuff. Once that was done, our trusty pals Freddy and Ceasar came to take care of the rest.
Off came the shingles, and then off came the beams! Nothing like a HUGE hole in your roof.
Hi Ceasar!
This was taken from the bonus room, looking into the rest of the attic. We'll put a lovely door here and finish walling it off.
Hello again, from our friendly helpers.
And more progress...
If you look closely at that last picture, you might just get a sneak peak of the colors we're thinking for the body of the house, the trim, and the doors. Lord willing, this little ranch of ours is going to look worlds different in about a month. Stay tuned!
In the end, of course we all have our ideas of what the bonus room should be. Rhett wants an office. I want a yoga sanctuary. The oldest wants a music room for her drum set (drum set not included...yet). Our baby probably just wants there to be snacks. So we'll see what this turns out to be. For now, however, there's nothing like a bonus.
