Basement News

Ryan has finished the drywall in the basement!  Yippee.  Here's our new list of Honey-dos:
  • Troy, our acid concrete stainer guy, will be visiting us either Wednesday or Thursday to look at our bathroom floor.  I've given Ryan creative liberties with the floor - he can have Troy do whatever he wants down there.  I'm quite pleased with the way the floor around the bar turned out, so I know it will look awesome.
  • Check to see when someone can mud and tape the walls and ceilings.  While they are doing that, Ryan will be hanging a ceiling in the laundry room.
  • Paint primer on all walls and ceilings.
  • Tile shower back splash.
  • Install cabinets, sink, mirror and toilet in bathroom.
  • Install shelving in the hall closet and bedroom closet.
Flooring is another matter.  We'll need to have Jesse (our carpet guy) come in and carpet the downstairs.  Then we'll move the office from upstairs to downstairs.  After the office is empty, we'll need to some how juggle all the furniture upstairs to re-carpet up there too.  And I'm sure before we rip up the old carpet, Ryan will want to repaint both bedrooms.

The goal is to have all this done by the time the baby comes.  With Ryan's pace, I'm sure we'll have this list knocked out by June or July.

Very exciting! I wish that our basement had been unfinished when we moved in. The people that lived here before us did a really dumb job of finishing it and just made it way too chopped up. We're making do with it, though. Don't worry about getting everything done before your little one gets here. He/she will be sleeping in your room for at least a little while probably...

Well, I guess I'd best get. Hope you have a great day!
