What Brenda Got

Living just about all my life in SO. Cal. I have never had a basement.
When I was a teenager my folks bought a 2 story house. One sister and
I shared the whole top floor. I had a huge room (should have been 2
or 3 smaller rooms) and it had huge windows that overlooked the trees.
That room was the best place I ever had to sew. It was bright, large
and had high ceilings. I gotta have the sunshine. Only down side was
a rotten shag rug. Yuck!

I hope Brenda gets the room of her dreams however it works out. SOUnds
like a great move Frank. Good luck to you both in the endeavor.

Took the words right out of my, er- keyboard. My sewing center is in the
basement, and it's OK. But not more than OK. (Well, it's great compared to
what many have, so I can't complain!) On the positive side, it's never too
hot in the summer!

As long as you're going to build to your own specs,
why not get that machine out of the basement?
Ground floor room, lots of sunshine (Omaha--she'll appreciate
the sunshine and a view), and no underground tunneling. g

Congrats on your new job posting, good luck w/ the move.

And that would, of course, be your opinions. g

All these points would work just as well in
a ground floor room, high ceilings, windows, wall space,
separate entrance--sounds like the back room in my house.
As I said, in Texas there aren't many basements.
We live above ground, mostly, and just get used to it this way. VBG

Btw, who is "klh"?

* that is why you get insurance for sump pump failure and sewage

* besides if the basement has a tall ceiling, and finished, well
even painted white, she can have a larger work area than upstairs.
* basements can have windows and doors and even walkouts.. then she
can have a separate entrance for clients to visit without tromping
nebraska snow through the LR
* more wall space in basement for hanging quilts on display
* my house in alexandria va many years ago sold itself to a navy
spouse who was a potter because i had an outside entrance for
clients, windows, a nine foot ceiling and tiled floor in a 12x24
space AND a gas outlet already plumbed (to connect an outside
grill which didn't happen) but for her, an easy place to connect
her kiln and ventilate. only after the realtor insisted would she
even go look at the bedrooms. she had her house and nothing would
stop the deal. and they still live there 30 years later.
* so, i would say, let this quilter have her large work area in her
own space and plan now for the good work environment. much better
than a cubicle someplace off the BW parkway!

Okay, the rest of the story.
Some of you may recall that I came in with a "rider" on Brenda's Xmas
gift. Well, it came through today.
A position popped up with my company in Omaha Nebraska. I currently
live on the East Coast of the US, between Washington, D.C. and
Baltimore, Maryland. After talking to Brenda, I applied for the
position.
Today, after another interview, they offered me the position. They
will also move me.
Omaha is the one place we liked the most whilst moving around the
world

in my 23 years in the US Air Force. So, here is the rest of the
present.
We move back to Omaha after the youngest daughter graduates this
Spring. We will build a house with a full basement. Brenda's new
job

is to manage the building of the house. Once the house is built, we
install a fully equipped longarm machine in the large basement and it
becomes a sewing center. Brenda's new job is machine quilting.
To summarize:
Brenda gets to move to where the majority of her friends are.
Brenda gets to quit "work," i.e. cubicle jobs and gets to do a job
that she loves - quilting.
Brenda gets a longarm machine.
And tonight, I'm getting a lot of kissin'.

Too funny! If you need any help getting that restraining order lifted, there
are several of us here in Iowa that would vouch for you!

That's not the way we heard it, Frank.
Your reputation precedes you,
at least in Iowa.
And it had nothing to do with quilting. ;-D

What a wonderful way to start the new year. I wish you lots of luck in all
the challenges that will pop up in the coming months. Having just built my
7th house, in some ways I envy you and in others I have felt the pain. :-)
Try to have fun with all the changes to come.

usaf retiree! [yes i wore a blue suit to work to by only for 20 years or
so] and i visited omaha a few times also!
