Dan's New Space

Now that Ryan has left for school, it is Dan's turn to have a proper office. Dan has been sitting out in the garage for 5 1/2 years while we have lived in Irvine. He was also in the garage for 2 years when we lived in Capo Beach.

Now, I will say that he has never complained about being in the garage. I think he has rather liked his own space out of the house where he can work, read the news and do emails. But it gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter so it was time to bring him into the house.

Ryan worked hard to clean out his room before leaving and we got rid of his old desk and chair to make room for Dan's new desk. A friend and I went to IKEA on Tuesday and we took our time figuring out which top would fit best in the room. Dan also requested that the desk be higher than normal. The only way to achieve this was to spend a little extra and buy adjustable legs.

We brought it home and built it and Dan loved it when he came home. He quickly moved the computer upstairs and started working away in his new space. It fits nicely with Ryan's bed and he will enjoy it too when he is home for holidays or summer.
