The Penthouse's entry is through one of the garage bays. (Reminder: One of the five garage bays) While this was fine, it wasn't ideal. While it obviously is a temporary situation, it just didn't seem very welcoming. And who wants to go into their house through a garage door? Without an automatic opener.
In addition, the third garage bay (on the left in the photo above) is a good entrance for two of the shops (yeah...I haven't shown you those yet), one of which will be The Farmer's Train Room. Yes, model trains. As in 300+ cars. He's been collecting since he was a kid and his set-up is massive. Of course, he reminds me occasionally that he used to work on his train layout before this Brunette showed up and took up all his time. Yeah...she was sorta greedy with his time.
So when we were talking about a house we knew we needed a space for his trains. And while I enjoy the trains, I didn't really need them in the middle of the house. So they needed to be convenient yet out of the way.
Voila! His new train room!
But back to that entrance...
We knew we needed something different, so...
Out comes the garage door.
In comes the wall.
Installing the lock was trickier than The Farmer thought, but we finally got it in.
Upside-down.
The lock to the Penthouse is also upside-down, so perhaps that's the new trend.
And our new entrance to the Penthouse and Train Room!
It needs a little paint.
