Basement Progress #1

This week my step-dad, Steve, began finishing our basement. We are really excited! I thought it would be fun to keep a running update on the progress. This may take a really long time...we'll see.

Monday: Purchased material for bedroom and carried down to basement.

Tuesday: Framed wall and closet. (I'm not about to let him work w/o eating so, we ate too! Chicken casserole (from DD4, of course) , steamed broccoli & cauliflower, and banana nut muffins)

This is Steve, the fix it, build it, design it, anything man.


This is Nick and Steve working on building the wall.


This is the bedroom wall and closet up and ready to be drywalled!


Just to show you how talented Steve is, he built this train table for our boys as a Christmas gift last year without any plans or anything. I gave him a picture and said I want it like this...


Hope you enjoy this long, grueling process with us! We could probably hire someone full time and have it done in a few weeks, but this way is MUCH cheaper! ;)

I'm so excited to see the progress and it finished! The marker thing sounds awful, and like something Crew would have done. And your vacation looked so fun!
