We're Covered in Dust....But We LOVE It!!

Oh, yes! We're finishing our basement! We started the process with a dream and a couple bucks in the bank...now look at where we are! It's almost ready for paint and carpet! We passed our drywall inspection yesterday with flying colors. The Mud/Tape guys are coming today. We are so excited to add this living space to our home. We're gonna have a family room, bathroom, storage room, office, kid bedroom and study alcove. And we'll have space to put family when they COME TO VISIT...hint, hint.

Pic #1: Looking into the family room from the hallway by study alcove. The holes in the wall are for Ev's "Special" electronic components...pieces of equipment that cost WAAAAY more than any shoes/sweaters/earrings that I have ever purchased...They will now have a permanent home...in the hole. The TV hangs on the wall to the right of the hole. It was an angled wall, so Ev and his ingenuity added plug-ins for a TV. I asked for a place to put a mini fridge...I hope that it fits in the little hole underneath... I begged the framers to add an arch in the hallway too...looks like it paid off! (Well, and I might have bribed them with brownies too...)

Pic #2: A portion of the study alcove (looking into Chase's new room). We'll have a built in bookcase with a desk along the wall. Evan wired our basement to be a Gamer's Paradise...so I'm sure we'll have some major network hook-up around there too.

Pic #3: Our home office...FINALLY! Our little desk was up in our Room of Romance (aka Master Bedroom). Not so romantic with bills and the humm of a computer...
