The start......

We are not waiting this time around any amount of time to get our basement finished...especially with three small children and mounds of toys...but we did get a little smarter this time and we are hiring it all out - almost - Eric is doing the wiring - TOMORROW!! But here is a little glimpse of what has been done so far.....the framing is done, HVAC is in and the plumbing is roughed in. It's great to think that they could possibly be hanging sheet rock in a couple weeks.



This view is from the far corner of the family room looking down the hallway to the furnace room, bathroom and there is a bedroom back there too.


This again is from the same corner in the family room - looking more toward the stairs coming down....we have a silly pole in the middle of the room - RC code....but it will work great for light switches and outlets.


This is again from about the same angle - looking toward the other bedroom downstairs (a.k.a. - toy room for the time being) until Ana feels brave enough to sleep downstairs....and then right at the bottom of the stairs is a HUGE storage closet - kind of a bonus room - it is more like and underground cellar - it's completely cemented in and actually sits below our front outdoor porch but we plan on finishing it off and making it usable storage.


This angle is from the area just outside of the bathroom looking back into the family room and the bedroom.


And this view is from the bottom of the stairs....we have nice walk out basement with lot's of light! The big wall there we plan on turning into a full wall entertainment center and Eric has already bought his TV to be mounted up there.
