You should seriously see my house. The basement is done aside from the carpet on the stairs and 1 room. Words cannot express the amount of work we have done. It has been outstanding. Our kids don't even know which way is up at this point. And their homework is proof. We are a mere month away from having the entire home reno done done and done.
We are now starting on the upstairs, but here is a little recap of everything we have done
wiring
framing of basement
drywalling
mudding
plumbing (last 2 we hired some work on)
cleaning floors
building out closets
filling nail holes
painting
cleaning floors again
trim work
painting trim
wood floor
glueing wood floor
cleaning up wood floor glue off everything
rocking the fireplace
grouting the fireplace
tearing out carpet upstairs to put into basement
lots of tears from mom
lots of junk being moved to garage so we can fill our house again once upstairs is done
lots of runs to home depot......
Life has been nuts!!!!
But the basement is so pretty and if nothing else our kids now know mom and dad know how to work HARD.
Now that the basement looks so good the upstairs looks like a bomb went off. I havent been to bed in the pm hours of the day in 4 months!
Now for the upstairs
Paint
wood floor
fireplace
the end
PS someday along with everything else we are doing I will learn to make my kids feel more loved and gain everlasting patience with them because I love them....
