Basement is done DUDE!!

Well.... nearly 7 months after we started the basement renovation it's finally finished... and we didn't end up on HGTV or renovations nightmares. On the contrary, it went relatively smooth for the first time doing many of the tasks. It goes to show what a little motivation, reading home improvement books and Google can do for you. ;)

The carpet was installed today, which marks the end, despite little touch-ups and installations to include, painting the doors, closet shelves, and blinds. Not to mention we've got to get all our furniture out of the garage and in to the basement.

So moral of the story is we now have a lot of room for you all to come visit, so let us know or just stop on by and make yourself at home! Below are some before and after pics.....

First weekend (Labor Day weekend) of renovation.... we didn't know what we had got ourselves into
