Progress....

I'm sure this isn't as exciting to everyone else as it is to us....but I thought I'd post some photos of our basement remodeling progress. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take "before" photos. The only basement photos I could even find were from when our basement flooded two years ago. So, you will have to ignore the water, but you can get the general idea of our basement. It had very pale wood paneling in it they we weren't too fond of. The layout also wasn't working for us, so Chris has torn down walls and put up some new ones to make it more functional for our family.


BEFORE
This area will become the TV area when we are done. The wall in the back of this photo (where you see the white cupboard) has been taken down and moved back to make my room!

This area will be behind the TV area and will have a table/chairs...

DURING

The old walls have been torn down and the new walls are being framed. The wall to the right will be the outside wall of my room! Originally there was a wall on the left side of this photo.

Looking from my room towards the TV area (on the right where the big green board is)

Standing in my room ....

More framing......the big opening to the right is my room....the area to the left will be unfinished storage....

Storage! Door #1 leads to an existing cedar closet and door #2 will lead to the unfinished storage.

TV area and the open stairway.....the stairway used to have a wall to the left of it, but we took it down so we can see the basement from upstairs (thinking ahead to teenage get togethers!)...

Looking down from the stairs....Both posts at the bottom of the stairs will be boxed in...

DRYWALL!

Storage areas....

My room....

Chris is planning to have the dry wall mudding/sanding finished within the next couple days . He still needs to hang dry wall in my room and then we can begin painting! I'm excited to see the area with paint and carpet and furniture!
