Ethan's Secret Room

This past week, Erik has been working on Ethan's secret room. Our house has these magnificent storage spaces in the eaves with little enchanting doors. They remind me of something out of 'Lord of the Rings'. Hobbit Holes if you will.

So Erik took the time to clean one up, put some kid friendly insulation in and he used the left over wall from our bathroom remodel two summers ago. Some carpet remnant, an old futon cushion, some old sofa cushions and a unused side table. The only downside is that is can get very hot when the sun is out and Ethan has been told not to close the door when he is in there. We will probably have to put a vent window in down the road, but for now fans will help in summer and a space heater will work for winter.

Trying to escape before I take another one.

It's his new favorite place to sit and read books.

Insulation to cover the shingles and roof nails. Erik pounded in the real long ones. Last thing we need is a bloody concussion.

Our left over bathroom wall.  Erik is going to have to add some more at the top, the other insulation is peaking out.
