I posted the before pics in the random thread but I'll repost them here.
I use one of the bedrooms in my house as my home office. It's above the garage and the front part was a dormer space with a nice looking half round window. When the house was built 13 years ago (I've been here 8) the builder cheaped out and just built a wall to make the dormer space into a rather useless closet. So, with the help of a friend of mine, I ripped the wall out yesterday.
The drywall that was there had to go too, I installed it, shitally I might add and would have been more trouble to finish it than just putting up new drywall. I have a contractor coming in to do the drywall since I suck at it, but everything else I'm doing myself to save some money. That and demolition is fun.
Total added floorplate is 6 feet by 12 feet. About 4 feet back is usable on the left side with the slope, and the full six feet on the right with the window.
