As long as we're waiting for a little someone to arrive, figured I'd post photos of our other summer project - we finally finished the basement redo and have been enjoying hunkering downstairs and watching movies now that the rain started and its dark so early.
Before/during:
 |
| The dumpster arrived sometime in July and was out there until October |
 |
| Basement as demo started |
 |
| Carpet, drywall, crazy lath and plaster ceiling texture gone... |
 |
| Suspended ceiling, closet, carpet, all sorts of other junk removed from other parts of basement. This was a bedroom and still is. We made the window to Ashley's left there a bigger egress window. |
 |
| Channel dug for new plumbing for bathroom. This was entry to laundry room, now its a bathroom. |
 |
| New plumbing, electrical, framing, insulation, drywall in process.... |
 |
| Getting there. New lighting in, paint, trim, etc. |
 |
| Most of it done, minus clean up, carpet, touch up, etc. |
And, after:
 |
| Part of guest room |
 |
| Other part of guest room, with egress window |
 |
| New bathroom (toilet and other stuff to the right and behind me). Its tiny, but guests can at least have their own bed and bath downstairs. Mom will get to use it next when she gets here next week! |
 |
| Pool table/bar room looking into fireplace room |
 |
| Looking from fireplace room upstairs |
 |
| Fireplace/tv room |
 |
| Still need a decent tv stand and other furniture, but its coming together. Just in time to watch movies downstairs this winter and have room for guests after baby gets here : ) |
