Sarah often stresses how people need to get important things done in the right order etc. The TV programme they did about the restoration was seen by the local council it was revealed that they didn't comply with planning regulations or have listed building consent. They also had to apply to get a certificate that recognised the building was to be used as a domestic dwelling again (after being used as a convent school for many decades before being empty). Just shows that even the experts get it wrong sometimes.

The loft conversion is lovely, however, the sleep apnea is a condition that needs to be addressed medically to avoid long term health consequences.

In fact, if you store something in a closet/storage unit outside your home, for me that means you don't need it at all. If you don't use something for 6/12 months, give someone or throw it away you don't need it if you don't use it. simple

There are exceptions to this rule, like seasonal decoration (which can be solved by using as little as possible to create the effect you want) or tools that are very handy when you need them but just don't need very often (renting tools a few times often costs more than buying them, hiring somebody to do something because you don't have the tools for it is even more expensive)... But in general: yes, if you don't use it, either start using it to find out if it actually adds value to your life, or get rid of it, but... Don't throw it away, give yourself a limited time frame to sell it before you donate it (no it doesn't matter "it's worth a lot of money", if nobody bought it in a few months time, it's probably not worth as much as you think), or donate it.

It's just the way houses have been built traditionally in the UK. Loft space wasn't even intended as storage to start with. There's some rows of terraced homes that have been built where the roof isn't even divided between homes!

The ideal solution is to downsize and declutter that stuff. Use the bathroom as is, save and expand the bathroom later on.

The circumstances here are that the home and land is already owned and maybe with the money they saved living with the parents the mortgage is not that bad. Considering the Great Recession and now the Pandemic it does make you worried for the older parents... if the younger couple defaults on the loan they may all be homeless.

Re the serious snoring issues, Jonathen probably has un-diagnosed sleep apnea that can be detrimental to his health. Besides their lack of restful sleep causing daytime fatigue; in the long term, sleep apnea increases risk of heart attack and stroke. It's important that he be medically assessed. Believe me using a CPAP (Continuous Possitive Air Pressure) machine while sleeping will change his life for the better.

Very smart , paying storage is expensive and risky , three months behind and you risk loosing it all .I love happy endings . well done .
