I sure wish that I would've taken before pictures of our basement before walls went up, because the changes that are taking place downstairs are crazy to see! For the past 3 years we have been trying to finish our basement and we are finally getting close to having it completed. What a project it has become. Mark and I didn't want to go into debt to finish our basement, so every little bonus at work Mark has earned or tax return over the past couple of years has gone into basement work. We truly are ready for it all to be completed so we can spend our hard earned money on something else. It has been so exciting to see the changes that are happening "below" us and we couldn't be more ready to enjoy this new living space. For the past few months, we have really focused on getting everything done and have gotten the insulation, sheet rock, texturing, painting, base boards and closets completed. We are so excited. A few weeks ago, we had our friend Ryan Norby come and finish the tile work. Mark and I wanted to do tile that looks like wood flooring and we are thrilled with the results. We loved the job that Ryan did on the flooring and on the bathroom tile surrounding the tub.
It truly is so exciting to see everything come along. This past weekend we went to go and get several carpet bids. In the end, we decided to go with Ryan once again because he beat the competitors. Ryan's Uncle works at a Carpet Store so Ryan was able to get us a good deal on carpet. We are hoping to get everything installed over the next couple of weeks! We are so grateful for honest and dear friends like the Norby's for helping us out. After we get carpet done, Then its onto finishing the bathroom, dry bar and stoning the fireplace! We couldn't be more excited!
