My husband and I are debating on putting an addition onto our home.
We bought a house in Birmingham, AL and it does the job good. We have one son so far and everyone gets a room. My husband and I don’t sleep well together. Also my husband and I each work from home and need our own space. Additionally one person can have the monitor while the other sleeps. Having our own room is a must have. Our son has a room, we have a small laundry space, and then the rest is kitchenaid living room. I am pregnant with our second child and it is a bit stressful. Do I put baby two in the laundry room? I can move the washer and dryer to my outdoor shed. The issue is that I would hate carrying heavy laundry in and out of the house during a hot, Birmingham day. The AC is beeping constantly due to the heat. We also live where it is sandy. I would need to wear shoes and leave them outside. I can’t really ask my baby to share a washer and dryer. The space is too small with it in there too. I think an addition is going to be necessary. The sad part is that our current HVAC unit will not be functional anymore. So we will need to buy an addition, pay for larger HVAC, upgrade the electrical panel, most likely do plumbing, and so many more jobs. This addition will cost us a fortune but I don’t see any other way.
