In January we started really planning to finish the basement. In February Matt called some friends and got some names of professionals and got to work. He learned how to wire lights, put in heat ducts, and frame.
In March Matt's brother John came to live with us. He helped frame and sheet rock.
Here are some more
March pictures.
The boys worked late into the night hanging new doors, fixing strange pre-owner stuff, and putting fans in bathrooms. Then conference weekend, we had a pro come and texture the whole thing (and re-texture some of the more obnoxiously poor texture jobs we inherited.
Then we did a LOT of painting. The girls now officially own "painting cloths." We just finished the doors and window molding. And the carpet goes in this coming week. The girls favorite part is:
the under stairs playhouse that Matt added in as he was framing. There's is even a little light they can flip on for themselves when they go in. Life is very good and it's about to get even better! Look forward to post-carpet pictures in a week or two.
