Sorry about the lousy pictures in this pre-remodeling series. I snapped them in a great rush of enthusiasm to dig into these remodeling projects.

The overhead sleeping loft in my Lazy Daze quickly became an attic junk room

The junk has to go - there's no room in this new "Lazy Daze Light" program for junk. I've been living here long enough now to know the sleeping loft will never be my bedroom. I tore out the queen size mattress and little storage box at the head of the bed. And the lift-up "floor" over the cab too.

Wait 'til you see how this area is being transformed. Seeing that area opened up gave me ideas.
