A thought popped into my head this morning.....what if they are going to use the house as a meeting place etc for the CIC?
When she was talking about the plans for the house, she said she wanted to knock the hallway and dining room into one big room. Now that would be MASSIVE for a general house and why would you want to walk straight into you house from outside, when you've got a lovely hallway (I'm totally jealous). In my mind, it screams meeting room/therapy room.
A place to "help her warriors"......and also a brilliant excuse to improve their house and use the PayPal money to fund it as a business expense.
I may be waaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark here
