We are at Ryan and Richelle's new digs, and they have an interesting discussion with Midge and Alan.
Midge: Wow, I sure love all the space you have here. How did you ever find this place?
 |

Ryan: It was my cousins, and he sold it to me to avoid re-doing stuff and to save on the realtor fees. It was a family exchange sort of. We Saved a lot of money, and it's still in the neighborhood we are familiar with. It really is big for us right now. Actually that is why we asked you here.
 |

Alan: Yes, we have been looking for something affordable for quite awhile. What do you have in mind?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: Well, we thought you might want to rent part of the house and share this floor with us.
Ryan: Well, if you might be interested, we can take a quick tour! Let's start upstairs.
 |

Midge: I've been living out of a suitcase at my aunts, and Alan's lease is up in the New Year and it's increased with extra HOA fees and astronomical if he stays.

Richelle: We haven't done a thing in the house yet, my taste isn't pink, but we may have to just deal with it, here in our bedroom. I want to make a work station up here, and change the dresser out for a real closet.

We do have Ryan's mom's pooch. Mortimer is really old, and sleeps a lot. He only appears at meal time, so be forewarned.

Richelle: The upstairs bathroom is huge. You would be able to use the tub, but there is a full size bathroom with shower downstairs level.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: The main floor has this living/dining room and table for four for meals.
 |

I'm moving this to create a work space upstairs, mostly because the light isn't great and it would be in the line of traffic.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: The kitchen is really quite complete.
Midge: Great appliances and I love all the shelves.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: The fridge is huge, and there is plenty of storage. We could figure out some sort of system for cooking. Carry-out is so expensive now, and of course we are trying to cut expenses since we have this house.
 |

This is the current island, which I may move to the center for traffic flow. We will see how it works.
Midge: The stairway goes down to the rooms we would have?
Ryan: Yes, and the garage is down on this level.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: Here's the garage.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ryan: Yep...and we have it already full of 'stuff'. Let's check out the main room.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
The basement was basically a man-cave. We brought our bed from the HFIM house...and it has great storage drawers underneath. There is plenty of room under the stairway for a closet. The wall bookcase is really anchored so it have to work around it. I had a desk under there, but the bed had to go somewhere.

Ryan: Here's a couple of old snapshots from before we bought the house.

It's really a flexible space!

Here's the space for storage under the stairs.

But, there's this great closet by the bathroom.
Midge: Anything is better than living out of a suitcase.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ryan: The bathroom is great and the shower is the best, that's one thing we are going to add upstairs.
Alan: Looks great and plenty of light down here too.
Richelle: I think it might be a good idea for you both. So what do you two think? Would you like to make this a duplex for awhile, and as long as you want?
Alan: I sure do, Midge what do you think?
Midge: As long as I can take a bath once in awhile, even though showers are fine. And, I love to cook, so I'd be happy to take that on.

Ryan: Let's work out a simple contract and you can both move in, whenever!
