I bet if you volunteer to move your grand dads stuff, your dad will be more apt to say yes. I do that all the time with my hubby...works like a charm :wink:

You can try the bare floor then always switch to a substrate later on. We added the pine since the floor is wood covered in a thick sheeting of visqueen which is easily wiped down.
Thinking about it, I don't think I could actually do bare floor because I want quail

I'll try. Lol, I don't see the point of keeping all of it! But I think if I move all the outdoors stuff into the garage, and the boxes/misc stuff into the attic neatly I should be fine.

Your dad is being very open minded. I would not even been allowed to consider such a project as a teen. Good Luck!
