The Basement

Aaron has been working SO hard on the basement...most nights when he comes home from work, after eating, he's down working. The weekends have definitely been consumed w/ the basement for the most part. Once it is all said and done, we will have 2 more bedrooms, another full bathroom, a family room and an office. Our plan is to get done with everything up to carpet and then we will do that when we have the time/money after the baby comes.

.

We want to have the bedrooms liveable & the bathroom functionable so we can happily have guests after our current spare bedroom becomes Lil P's bedroom. With Aaron's family being all traveling distance, this is one thing we definitely wanted to do and planned on doing as soon as we decided to have kids. So family & friends from afar - COME ON OVER!!! We'd love to have you :)

.

I am so happy that Aaron has such a great talent of carpentry, it sure does save us money by doing stuff on our own. Obviously that means it is more time consuming, but that's okay. He's worked really hard and does a good job at it...he takes a lot of pride in his work, which he should!

Here's some pictures of where we are at so far:

My hubby the carpenter :)

Electrical work...fun stuff!

This will be the office, it is going to have a 1/2 wall with stone and pillars separating it from our family room...

The office w/ drywall :)

Same bedroom with drywall...

Bathroom...it is going to have tile on the floor and the "walls" of the shower/tub area

Bathroom drywalled...

This is part of the family room...it is actually going to be a built in ledge/shelveing area for the TV and anything else. Check out Aaron's pride and joy - the Beer Drinking Trophy from a softball tournament. He claims this is going to be part of the decor once the basement is finished...umm, we'll see about that!!! In the meantime, it is there!
