When my mother-in-law moved back into her house, my husband and I decided to move into the room she had been using.
The room was bigger, had a huge walk-in closet with drawers and wall space, and an ensuite bathroom.
He said he was going to redo that room, and I would use our old bedroom as an office. I had been using a small cubby hole that had once been the laundry room. There was only a very small window, and no heating in that room. I thought my husband was kidding until he told me there was one catch. The cubby hole was going to be the laundry room again, and I had to take over the laundry chore. I had been asking him to move the washer and dryer upstairs for years, but he said he didn’t mind doing the laundry. Going up and down the basement stairs gave him more exercise. Once we remodeled the big bedroom, it was time to set up my office. With no furniture in the room, my husband realized how hot it was inside. We had ductless HVAC in the house, but we had never put it in our room. There was a window air conditioner in the window, and it worked well for us. He was now talking about adding another unit into the bedroom, and the entire house would have ductless HVAC. Before I thought, I shouted ‘hell yeah’ and looked around the room. I had a new office, and new HVAC. My husband was still laughing when we sat down for dinner two hours later.
