Reno Update

Someone asked me how the basement renos are going, and I realized I haven't posted pictures since it was framed and we put the insulation in.

We now have walls. They are currently being mudded and sanded.







That's the hallway coming into the basement. The door on the left is to the guest room.




Lots and lots of Mudding going on in this house. Andrew did the first layer of tape and mud, and then we decided to hire a family friend to help us out. Basically, if Andrew was going to do it all by himself, it would have taken him all summer to finish. He works full time, and Coral is only awake for a little over two hours after he gets home, so he spends time with her. Then by the time we put her down for bed, he would only have (maybe) two hours to work down there. And that's if we/he had no evening plans. So, it seemed more practical to hire someone that could come during the day to work on it.

The big room is almost finished (just needs a final sanding) and then we will prime and paint it while the guest room and bathroom is being worked on.

The best part is, the guy working on the basement has a vacuum that sucks up all the dust while he is sanding. There has been hardly any dust at all upstairs! Woo hoo!
