When we added on to the house, we knew that since the garage would lead directly to the pond/deck area we wanted to turn it into a family room. So when the city came out to sign the final permit, we told them that the delivery of the garage door had been delayed and we would install it upon delivery. OK... so we lied. We actually had a sliding glass door being delivered. Well as you can see from this pic.. the family room never got done.Coldwell Banker just closed Matt's Real Estate office three weeks ago so he was laid off. We both decided this was his push to go independant, get his business going and work from home. My company had closed 6 offices in the past two years so they had a sale on July 18th to get rid of all the extra computers, desks, chairs, desk mats, etc......Hence the push to empty the garage and turn it into Matt's office. We scored big time!!! For $430, we came out with a computer, keyboard, monitor, 2 desk chairs, 1 large 2 drawer file cabinet and 5 small ones, 4 desk floor mats and a huge desk that will wrap around half of one wall and corner off and extend the full 15 ft. length of the other wall. WooHOO!!!!
Since it was a garage, the construction workers drywalled it, but didn't do such a great job on the taping of the drywall. So off to Home Depot we went to buy some drywall mud and we spent
most of the weekend texturing the walls and ceiling to hide the bad tape job.
During and after shots to come....

Good grief, you two really are putting us all to shame. The amount of work you have created for yourselves is to be commended.
Sounds like you have a ready and workable office stocked full of all the necessities...good luck!
Wow! I keep forgetting to ask if you had finished that room yet. It sounds like you are going gangbusters! I can't wait to see the finished product. You always do such beautiful work.
