Except for this
Early on I borrowed my daughter's for a week or so, but it soon became apparent that I needed to get one that I could continue to use until the studio is ready -- there are just too many things I do to make art that require this tool!
That activity requires some "aggressive pressing" to make sure the edges are firmly turned under and there are no "ugly edges"
The replacement iron is working adequately -- it will probably continue to live in the laundry room when studio is finished -- who knows, I might actually iron a piece of clothing -- but don't hold your breath waiting for that!
I have hired a contractor to turn this unfinished space into my studio
In order to do that, these walls must all come down. They were put in by a previous occupant without permits and the workmanship is awful, so the decision was made to just rip it all out and start over
The most positive thing about this space is that the rough in for the plumbing is already here which makes the plumbing part of this project much easier!
There will be a bathroom and a room that I will use as an office at this end and all of the rest of the space will be open to be used as studio space for the DH and I
Time to hang out the sign that says "Watch This Space" -- let the demolition begin!!!

No load-bearing walls in that bunch, clearly. So if they were put in without a permit you don't need a permit to take them back out, do you?
Thinking of friends who bought a four-bedroom house only to find after the fact that the fourth was added on without a permit and the city wanted the new owners to bear the expense of ripping it down. That was not a happy moment for them. (I have no idea what eventually happened to the house, just that the husband sold his startup, then another, made a fortune and they moved into a mansion in the hills. Very Silicon Valley.)
