This post goes out to Sally Heinzel, who always notices when I write, and most definitely appreciates do-it-yourself home improvements!
We are remodeling our basement, and will have a living/play area, a spare bedroom, small storage room, and bathroom. We're excited to expand our living space! Here are some pics from the past few weeks of work.
Our friend Caleb came over to help tear down the ugly paneling.
First wall - up!
Looking into the guest bedroom from the living room area.
Hallway - far down on the right at the end of the hallway is
the entrance into the office Micah built last year.
Fourth wall onto the guest bedroom, again looking from the living room area.
Guest bedroom closet!
Hallway, now with Micah's wiring done.
Just thought this was a cool corner pic of wiring.
More wiring - and the wall behind separates the guest
bedroom from the storage room.
You might not think this is exciting, but it is! Micah wired this so that each switch controls one of three rows of can lights (see below), and all of them are dimmers. Yea for movie nights where we can control our fancy lighting!
This is half of them.
Bathroom, with our laundry room (that will remain unfinished) to the right.
Micah's dad helping with the bathroom.
This bathroom has been the toughest part - building around a shower,
toilet, sink, heating vent, and plumbing that was already there.
The first thing we've hired to be done - spray insulation of the ceiling and walls.
Next step - measuring so we can purchase drywall!
Pretty cool that my plumber husband has taken on being
an electrician and carpenter. I'm so proud of him!
