When we bought our home in 2017, it was a move-in ready duplex. So naturally, we tore it apart. Where some people may have seen the potential for renters and a second passive income, we saw the perfect starter home that would allow for the time and space to create exactly what we wanted and needed.
What is now Sam's shop was once a garage and then a kitchen, living room and office. The shop itself has been painted, repainted (repainted again) and reconfigured dozens of times as his work and needs grow. Much like any living, breathing and growing endeavor, the shop continues to evolve each and every day as Sam takes on each unique project (and Ali still puts him to work with her never ending honey-do house list).
