My House – The Construction Site
Well, the dumpster got delivered this morning. Tomorrow, Bill and his brothers start demoing the room that is in the basment. They have tear the drywall down and tear the subfloor out. We are suppose to have excellent weather (high of 62). Once that is done, Bill starts on the electric down there. He has to rerun a bunch of stuff, use some splitters, and get rid of all the boxes (I think they are called electrical boxes but I am not sure). Once that gets done, the drainage tile gets put in in the beginning of May. Then we have the drywall and the bathroom that needs to get done.
Well, my plans are to take a picture after they get done tomorrow, so you can see the before and after.

Weekend Update
Well, we got them majority of stuff out of the basement over the weekend. Now, we just have a pile of trash and a few boxes that need to go out. I am calling for the dumpster this week. We are planning to demo the one room that is down there this weekend. Once we do that, we are going to work on our floor plan (I want to add another bathroom down there and Bill wants to add a home office). I want the basement finished by Will’s 1st birthday (June 7th). Besides the above rooms, Bill needs to rerun the electric, we need to rerun the venting, and we need to add drywall. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
We also bought a new stove, but that’s for a post a little later (so I can get a picture).
Basement Addition?
Well, we have a guy coming tomorrow to get an estimate on fixing the floor in the basement. Actually, we have been told by three companies that we have no drainage tile, so I know that’s what they are going to tell us. We are having the company that gave us the lowest estimate 2 years ago come again to see how much the price has went up. They are coming tomorrow night. If we fix the floor, we can actually finish off the basement, so this is our project for this year. The only thing I really worry about is where we are going to put all the stuff we have in basement while this is going on. We have boxes full of stuff, a bed, furniture, etc. As you can tell, a lot of stuff. I have a feeling I am going to have to give up my garage space for a while. If we finish off the basement, it will give up an addition 500 sq ft of livable space (which we desperately need!) Plus, I am hoping to add another bathroom, since we currently only have one. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this estimate comes in low, so we can get going on this.
