I'm getting that back, too. In order to make room for my grandson's things, I had to move my exercise equipment and the coffee table into my library, and that's basically been a storeroom for the last three years. Now I get both rooms back. The exercise room for working out (and watching movies and TV so I don't get bored during the cardio), and my library for relaxing with a good book after my workout and a hot shower.

It's like getting my whole house back again.

I started using the stationary bike a little. But my arthritis is kicking up. I do feel better when I exercise. Good luck with yours

Thanks for giving your grandson a roof over his head…but having the space back has to feel wonderful.

And it only got more complicated when he moved his SO in with us.

Household water and electricity usage doubled overnight.

Yesterday, when the door closed after them. Mrs. Aristus and I rejoiced in the silence...
