You all have been asking for it, so here it is - the home tour of my 2000 sq ft industrial Chicago loft. I will miss this loft a lot -- it was my dream home. But as you all know, I'm super excited to be moving on to the abandoned building renovation. So here is the first and last loft tour of my old home. The loft is two bedrooms and three baths, and features exposed brick and timber beams - a true Chicago-style loft.

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

I find it interesting how often people try to compliment a craftsman by insisting that they are an artist. I don’t know if you’re an artist or not, but you’re certainly an accomplished craftsman. In my mind, that’s just as much (if not more) of a compliment than saying you’re an artist. A quality piece of craftsmanship may last and inspire much longer than a poorly crafted work of art.

[@jasonsavory9748]

Jeffrey Nerdin craft is art, it’s just the most commonly commissioned form of art. Art can have function too, just so often pretension supersedes all else and art has to be some bull crap like a cow cut in half in formaldehyde. Form over substance. Just as film and cinema is art that has function so too is all craft, at least in my opinion.

[@Autism_Forever]

You looked depressed when you said you chose to leave the loft because of work-life imbalance. From what I know, you work or used to work for a large law firm in Chicago. I hope that your law firm is a happy exception, but many large law firms overwork and mistreat people, creating high levels of stress. My husband and I are both attorneys. We both used to work for and with real dickweeds. My husband made hundreds of millions for said dickweeds and got thousands out of that. Seeing all that, I went ahead and created him his own law firm. As makers, I believe that we can make anything, including our businesses. He can now work from anywhere in the world and choose where to work, whether to work, and how much of work to do. He has beautiful offices in DC, that I also made for him. Perhaps that path would also work for you, and then you would not need to choose between your work, your home, and your dreams, because they can all be in the same place :) I hope this helps and best of luck to you! ♥ You are a very talented person.

[@DolOnTheDial]

I worked in a patent law firm as a clerk when I was in my 20's I stopped eating almost entirely and lost 20 pounds working there just from being completely stressed out. The attorney I use to work under would publicly humiliate his underlings in front of the entire office if he found the smallest of errors, his thought process being that they 'would never make that mistake again'. It was a horrible place to work and left me with a permanent distrust and dislike of anything having to do with lawyers or law firms.

[@fatisummer9106]

I see your point but most people tend to work even harder when they work for themselves, since my dad create his own business he works even on the weekend , life/work balance is a mindset

You're really talented, managed to pull off modern industrial while adding warmth and a homely feel to the place. Great talk on what we perceive as life goals and what we truly want in life, I'm pretty sure a lot of people have been thinking about this during these trying times and maybe changing their goals a bit, I sure did. Anyway, congrats on the new place once again and excited to watch what you come up with at the new building.

mitrovic slobodan yeah I noticed that. He didn’t used to do that though, in the beginning he showed a lot of helping out and doing things himself, like tearing down the stucco with his jackhammer, or moving all the dirt filler around the house with the bobcat. Now it just is a bunch of talking and a few time lapses. When I posted this he was still doing some work on it.

[@reflactor]

Unrelated to the build, but a real question: Now that you're on your own, how are you handling health insurance? I know several self-employed folks and that single issue surprisingly turns out to be a sizable burden.

[@modustrial]

It's definitely a sizable burden....I'm just paying for it, not much else you can do 🤷‍♂️

We did the same thing with early retirement. Just save and allocate enough money for the health insurance till 65.

[@AliceDiableaux]

Money can't buy happiness is something only rich people say lmao. Now, I'm as minimalist and anti-consumption as can be, and I live on about €1200 quite alright, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's very comfortable. A bit more would enable me to put more savings aside which would take some worry away, I'd be able to buy a car, which again, even though I manage fine without would just be more comfortably, especially with things like taking my cats to the vet, and I'd be able to afford something a bit bigger than my 35m2 social housing apartment, which would be better for my cats also. Not worrying about unexpected expenses, being able to buy better quality stuff that lasts longer, a car and a bigger place for my cats isn't _happiness,_ but it sure as shit would make life a whole lot more comfortably and relaxed.

[@brckh]

I'm surprised this place "only" costs $950K. That's a lot of house and location for that price in relation to what you'd get in the northeast for similar. Not that it's cheap. I'm guessing you had to gross around $220K/yr to afford it assuming you've been living alone.

[@JonathonV]

I live near Vancouver, where a place like this would be at least $2M, so I was kinda surprised at the $950K price as well. I suppose there is the exchange rate and the dip in the market, but still …
