Having my attic finished. These are the preliminary plans. Will be adding stairs with a dormer, open lounge area up the stairs, and an office and bedroom on either side. Contractor coming for estimate this week. Thoughts?

At least for the next few years it’s unlikely I’ll be disturbed. As of this summer I’ll have 3 kids under 2 who will primarily be on the second floor.

You need a closet in that bedroom, otherwise it’s not considered a bedroom for valuation purposes.

Yeah - a bedroom has to have a closet and a point of egress to qualify as a bedroom.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
