I have converted my attic into a small, private study.
I had to do a extreme amount of cleaning up there, as my associate and I didn’t genuinely use the attic space for anything more than storage of things my associate and I barely ever needed anyway.
I will not go into detail about some of the nasty things I found up there after so much time, however it will say that after cleaning it up & repurposing it, it has turned into one of my favorite parts of the house. It’s a cozy little nook where I can study a favorite book or do some work on my laptop in peace & quiet! Or, at least it is when the weather is mild. I decided to do this cleaning in the Springtime, however then the summer time came, & I found it actually hard to cope up there without any form of temperature control. At first, I brought a fan up there. I started with a table fan, & after that I switched to a box fan because the table fan wasn’t powerful enough. Then I realized I could barely think over the loud drone of the fan, not to mention the fact that the air it was blowing in my face was hot anyway. I decided there must be some way for me to get real temperature control in the attic. I thought about somehow extending our existing central a/c system to accommodate the attic, however that seemed like it would cost a whole bunch of money. I looked into a portable a/c component instead, & I found an Incredibly powerful one that did not need near as much power as I thought it would! Now I can entirely cherish my current favorite room in the house.
