We have started working on our basement! We have been up to a lot in just the past two weeks. First we moved all our crap, I mean valuable belonings, to a storage unit. It only took us three trips with a truck! With the basement all clear, we started framing. Here are some shots of the work in progress.
B has been so excited about the basement. We told him that when it was all done, he could have a bedroom down there. He is adamant that he will have a bunkbed, with B on the top and Christopher on the bottom. When Ben started framing, he said to me, "Mommy, is daddy making my bunkbeds?" I am having a hard time explaining to him that it is going to take a while before things will be done. Every time a new sub-contractor shows up, he asks me if that man is making his bunk bed. When the plumber came, I told B, "That man is making you a potty in the basement." B's eyes got really big and he said, "I can have my very own potty downstairs?" Wow. Is that what it takes to get him excited about keeping his pants dry? A different toilet?
Here is B with his BOB the builder toolbelt on; flexing his muscles.
He was so excited to go and help Daddy. He even got to hold the tape measure and hammer a nail. His official job was to gather up the odd pieces of wood and put them into piles. He was so proud of his wood towers! Things are moving along well and we should be able to sheetrock by the end of next week!

Yeah! That's going to be so awesome when its all finished. I just love having our basement!!
So exciting! I hope we aren't too far behind you....we'll see. We never do anything too fast around here, but once we finally decide something it usually happens pretty fast. We need to hire someone else to make decisions for us:) B is so funny flexing his muscles. What is it with boys and needing to be the biggest and the strongest?
Very exciting! Are you finishing the entire thing? How many rooms will that add?
Wow! Good luck with all the work!
That is awesome! It will be so amazing once it's all done - you will love it. Don't be surprised if I try to pick your brain when we try to finish ours in a couple of years. (Insert evil laugh!)
Exciting! That is going to be so dang nice to have it finished! I miss my basement. It was so nice to send the boys downstairs. Seeing all of your pictures makes me sad! Like they hyrdoseeded! That is fabulous!
