OK, now I'm just a bit envious of that office of yours lol. I haven't had
a room to myself for an office since 1999.  With this remodel we're doing
I should wind up with a main floor office!! Wow first time a main floor
office  since 1991 and back then I didn't have a business to run. My
office is currently my bedroom as well, very very tight. On my way down to
your place, I'll stop by the Ferguson's and pick up loving Vernon to help
out lol.

Rhonda,

I am using the air conditioner, at the moment, just to move air.  A storm
door hasn't been installed on my office back door as of yet so I have no
air
movement in the small two room office.  Even when it is cloudy, like it is
now, when the sun moves over the sky and starts heading down toward the
mountain peaks, it really warms up in our house and especially in my
office.
I only have one window in the main room but it doesn't help to open
it.  The
new air conditioner sure is much quieter than my old one and with the
remote, I can make changes without having to get up.  I can even change
the
temperature to whatever I wish.  When people come for prayer sessions, it
is
nice to have a separate entrance so they don't have to go through the
house.
I miss my garage, for some reason, but we had to take it down in order to
be
compliant with the city for my son's driveway that goes into the backyard
where his house is.  So my office, which I have had for 22 years now, is a
little smaller because the city made us chop off 2.5 feet of the side of
the
breezeway, converted into my office when we moved in to this house, so now
I
have 10 feet by 22 feet of office space.  The main office room facing the
front of the house is now 10 by 14 but just big enough for my desk,
computer, a couple of chairs, a small coffee table, and bookshelves the go
from floor to ceiling.  My back room is now only about 10 by 8 but it also
has bookshelves from floor to ceiling but it serves as my leisure room
with
all my radios and recorders and study materials in Braille and where I can
make recordings.  I installed a wall furnace so I have always had heat and
air out here and it allows me to close things off from the house when I
need
to.  Once the garage was taken down, my youngest son carpeted the rooms
and
finished things off, including putting in some new wiring, but he still
has
a little more remodeling to do if he ever finds extra time.  Maybe I'll
have
Brad come down and do it.

Phil.
