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).

    Hi there!

    I must say, I love the blog header you got there, very very nice!

    Owning your own house, brings those kind of chores, I know all about it, as I’ve done a lot of construction work on my own house.

    Cheers! 😀

    Hey-If you have a 1-800-Got-Junk company in town, they are very handy when it comes to trash removal. I had a bunch of random things in a garage (nothing worth giving away) and they came and removed it for under $200. I know they have a website if you google them I'm sure you'll find something.

    Thanks. 🙂 Unfortunately, they don't take drywall and all that kind of garbage.

    Oh wow. I've always wanted a house with a basement that I could fix up and make my own. 😉 Good luck with it. You must show us pictures when it's done.
