Basement Update

So we started working on the basement more than a year ago. We had all the money saved up and the desire to get it done. Well, that desire started to slither away about two months into the project. Don't get me wrong, we wanted it done, but didn't really didn't have the time to do all the work necessary.

Well, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Joel finished up insulating and figured if we didn't at least get help to do the drywall, we would never get it done. We decided to just hire it out. So the guys showed up this morning and pretty much finished hanging all the drywall by lunch time. They are coming back tomorrow to mud and tape. I can't believe how fast it is all happening (and how fast the money is draining out of our account!). There is finally some definition in the basement so I have a better feel for what the whole thing is going to look like. It will be really nice when it is all done. Unfurnished, but nice. Joel and his Dad (and the hired help) have done a nice job on everything.

I couldn't get good pictures of everything, but here are a couple of okay ones.

The bedroom from the back corner. We are putting in a huge closet. I can't wait. (It's the picture that is crooked, not the room).

The entertainment room from the back corner.
