House project #000002

I was sitting in my room a couple of months ago and looking around at everything that had been packed in our room (the whole office went into our room after the flood) and started thinking, "Where are we going to put a crib." Umm...there was really NO WHERE to fit one. SO, as much as we REALLY wanted grass to keep the dust out of our house, we decided to finish another bedroom and bathroom downstairs.

Despite all the other commitments that Chris has and all the other people he helps he was still able to finish part of our basement. Once again, he is so AMAZING!!! He is the hardest worker I know!!

Finishing up some drywall around the windowsills.....



and the finish carpentry (base and casing)...



Austin and Allison helped putty the holes and did such a great job!




Austin was so excited to help paint his room...and me! :)


Uncle Keith and Chris going on a "painting mission."


This is Austin's VERY GREEN room. I let him pick the colors and he really wanted Green and Black...I nixed the black (maybe black decor). He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it! I was a little worried that he might be lonely or scared in the basement by himself but he actually doesn't mind at all.

We finished the bathroom...

We finished the storage room and got rid of A LOT of junk! We actually love getting rid of stuff...however I couldn't part with any of my baby girl stuff...maybe next year.

I can not believe how many totes of baby stuff I have already accumulated... Where are we going to store this stuff as the kids get older? I don't blame you for not getting rid of it....

You guys are inspiring. I so want to get going on the basement but we went for the grass this summer. Just like you couldn't stand the weeds and dirt anymore!!
