a big break since my last post… life has been a little hectic and filled with lots of changes… one of which is our uber-exciting finishing-the-basement project…
ever since we moved back to canada we’ve been talking about getting our basement finished… it has been, until now, a large concrete box filled with all sorts of stored stuff… pretty much everything that we don’t use on a weekly-or-so basis…
well that all started to change about three weeks ago when we finally took the plunge… and we’re far enough along now to post a couple of pictures of the quite lovely progress to date…
step one… we busted ass for a day or two moving most everything out of the basement and into the garage… we’re going to have one unfinished storage room so the really heavy stuff stayed there… after cleaning up we were left with this…
step two… framing & running electrical stuff…
three… drywall…
and today… starting to prime the walls & ceiling for paint…
when this grand ol’ project is finished we will have a great space to live… i think it’s going to be our number one hanging out place in the house… and in addition to a groovy rec room / play area avec pool table there will be a separate scrapbooking / craft room for k and a music room for yours truly…
our goal is to have this finished by christmas… our carpet pals have to come through for us big time… the likelihood of which is a tad questionable… but if they do i think we’re going to make it… which’d be pretty spiffy as this is essentially love-of-my-life karen and my gigantic xmas present to each other…
