Working on the Workshop. One of the million reasons why we fell in love with our new home has to do with the spaces in the basement where HWMMS can create his workshop. The first farmhouse we put an offer on had a 2 car garage and little usable basement space and a HUGE RED BARN quite a bit away from the house, which could have been turned into workspace, but…well…not ideal.

Our new home? Perfection. There’s a 2 car attached garage where we can put the vehicles we drive, along with our coats and freezers. And there’s a 3 car detached garage right near by where The Mistress will live. And I foresee the one separate entrance area being home for bunnies and chickens.

And then we have the basement. The ridiculously large, unfinished basement. There’s a workshop off to the right (with a bar area…) that we plan to turn into an 18th century tavern someday. Then there’s the future entertainment room (which the previous owners used as a gym, but since we are fatty types we plan to make it into a movie room….)

And there’s a sectioned off area with two rooms where we will have storage for all his reenacting items….and the space where HWMMS built a workshop, as in bought some wood and made a bench. Mmmm. I thought I loved nerds but man oh man a man who knows how to build, a whole different level of attraction.

Pretty much the perfect space for HWMMS. We didn’t even realize we wanted such a space until it fell in our lap…now, I can’t imagine anything else! Funny how house hunting goes, eh?
