Breaking the Rules in Cow Island, Louisiana - 07/30/09 05:25 AM
Earlier this year, our finishing carpenter, Paul, dedicated a lot of time, largely unpaid, for a project for a family member of ours who was "displaced" by Hurricane Ike.
To help repay our debt to him for his tireless efforts, we re-designed a guest bedroom in his house in Cow Island, Louisiana.
We had to break some pretty basic rules, but they were necessary.
Here's the layout we had to work with:
