With a nugget on the way, we are officially trying to get the house in order. I am in a definite purge mode. I want all useless crap out of the house. We are also working on making the basement livable. The basement won't be fully finished, since there is always the risk of water, but it is going to be so much better. The plan is to end up with a couple of couches, a nice rug, a new TV and a place to kick kids down to when they are driving us nuts.
To start, we had our ugly concrete floors refinished with a colored concrete. The process took 5 days, which was mostly putting down the different colors on the floor to get it just right.
This is an almost before shot. We forgot to take a picture before the floor guys came. This was after they had sanded off the black gunk that was used to glue down the old linoleum tile. Also, check out the metal I-beams, that are for support ,so we can't really get rid of them.
The new floor....with the ugly beams.
This past weekend, around celebrating our friends graduation from pharmacy school, Cory covered the beams, making them look like pretty wooden beams.
They look so pretty now!
His other project for the weekend was to redo the ceiling at the bottom of the stairs and put in a new light fixture.
This may be my favorite thing Cory has done down here so far...
The goal is to have the basement done by Cory's 30th Birthday party...June 11th! The countdown is on.
