Basement!!!

Phew! It’s been a busy few weeks since we returned from our big Christmas and New Year’s trip. We spent the first day washing floors and nearly every other surface in the house. Since then, we have Tim has washed some portion of the floors nearly every day. We are getting a handle on the dust and able to settle in some.

We were able to move our furniture down to the basement the first day, though it was the better part of the week before the tv was usable again. Everything’s working now and I was even able to move the modem/router downstairs and plug our directv box in to the internet. I don’t know all the capabilities of that yet, but it gives us some more features.

Now, on to the good stuff…

Looking from the bottom of the stairs – the door on the left is the bathroom and the shadowed space just beyond that is the entryway to the back door.

Looking from the back wall – the door on the left is a small storage area under the stairs and the door straight ahead leads into the front part of the basement that hasn’t been finished (and is super dusty).

 

Bathroom – since we don’t have a wide a wide angle lens, this is the best I could do. The shower is opposite these and is huge and awesome.

We haven’t done much beside moving our furniture yet, though the puzzle rug and 2 red footstool/storage pieces are new.

Upstairs, the demo is done, most of the framing is done, electrical is well underway, and the plumbing was started today. We have picked a lot of the tile and fixtures. The biggest decision remaining is the washer and dryer. I’ll get a camera up there one day this week to get some pictures.
