Trying to get past what I'm losing here and look at what I can do with the new place.
First thing I need is a place for my cars and the lift. At first I was thinking about a new steel 3-car garage, but now I'm thinking maybe just doubling the size of the existing barn with an extension. It has 50 amp 220 and electric heat. It is well positioned for solar panels, too.
Going solar is a priority here, as this place is ALL electric.
The kitchen is small and doesn't have enough storage. That range is resistance electric and looks like 36 inch. I'm getting our realtor to confirm. I want an induction stove and I want a exhaust vent with a fan that will buckle the windows. I think I can get rid of that above-the-stove microwave and shoot an 8" exhaust pipe out the wall. I need more counter space. Can probably extend that island 3 feet.
The room to the left is right off the kitchen and we've decided it will be my office. I can get some floor to ceiling pantry-type cabinets to put where the hutch is now to serve as a kitchen pantry.
We'll be spending a lot of time going up and down these basement steps. They are very shallow - maybe 7 inches or less. I'm thinking I can remove the carpet and screw deeper steps right on top of these. Don't know. I'll have to look into that.
Anybody have Simply Safe alarms or Starlink? This place has both, and the equipment conveys. I don't know anything about either one.
