    Put in massive skylights so the room is well lit in the evenings, then get yourself a big telly and a crate of beer to relax. Oh and one of those lazyboy chairs, personally this is my dream retirement.

    I don't care about your attic, anne frankly I don't care about you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Are you looking for someone to rent it? How much would you want a month?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Leave it entirely empty. Just put a big red button on a stand in the middle of it. Itll freak the shit out of any visitors.

    Entertainment room. Flat screen tv. Surround sound. Popcorn machine. Mini fridge. Awesome couch of some sort.

    Your daughter could use it as a studio, where she can glue bits of photos and magazine clippings to the walls.

    1. Start up a B&B
    2. Drill holes in the floor of the attic room
    3. Install spy cameras
    4. ??? Start up a website offering streamed content @ €10 p/h
    5. Profit

    You could turn it into an office. If your work or life does not require an office then you could turn it into an office anyway, to make yourself look and feel important.

    You could also lure a homeless person in off the street, lock em in the office, and they could be your secretary.

    Turn it into a safe room. That way you'll be prepared for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

    -Home astronomy
    -Pool room
    -Cinema room
    -Reading room
    -Guest bedroom
    -The when I had a fight with the missus and pretend to go to a hotel to allow things to cool off, but really am thinking "that bitch be cheatin'" so am hiding in a chance to catch her in the act after which I will kill them both and put them up in the attic then burn the attic down hoping the rest of the house doesn't catch fire thus limiting the damage to the useless room (now that you don't need to spy on the devil whore any more) while destroying the evidence, room
    -Party room
    -Sex room
    etc.

    One of those normal everyday uses I think.
