I realized last night that exactly one year ago I bought this building...
Electrician, "You want to get rid of all that lighting??"
Passerby, "You should open that up, like a New York City loft." I had about 18 hours to visualize and decide how to lay that out.
Contractor, "We can cut the loft floor back and open up the back windows..."
Me, "Let's cover basement walls as little as possible."
Me, "Omg... Not now." (Attic renovation starts tomorrow. Not too much for now, just usable/rentable storage space).
