Updates to Basement

Well, when we left on Thursday evening for our weekend, there was drywall in the main room and no where else. The egress window still wasn't complete, and we weren't sure on a real timeline. It's so fun to go away for 3 days and come back to major changes. DOn't forget to look back at old posts to remember what the place used to look like.

The drywall is complete through the whole basement. This is the main room. Mudding had begun everywhere.
Another angle of the main room the corner by the staircase with house our new kitchen counter, counter top, sink and cabinets along the back wall and then a new bar coming out perpendicular from the staircase wall. All parts of this are ordered and should arrive in the next week.
This is the guest room. You can see the egree window is finally complete.
Here is the guest bathroom. We re-drywalled in here too. Once the drywall is complete, we will re-install the toilet and tile the floors.
Back to the guest room.

This is our contractor and dear friend, Jamey Schurvinske. He is owner of Precision Decks and General Contracting. He does stellar work and is a perfectionist ( we appreciate). if you need anything done in the C-U area from handy man work to remodels to full house buildings, he's your guy! www.precisiondeckscu.com
The egress is done. We still have a huge pile of dirt to remove and a cover to have specially made for the top to keep water and critters out but it works and looks great!
The four foot well has a ladder to climb up.

Our hope is to have the drywall and mudding done by Thursday. Jamey is going to give us the doors and trim to paint over the weekend. Hopefully, even though Bri works all weekend, we can also get the primer on the walls. Then, Jamey will come back early next week and patch any walls that need help after the primer and install the doors and trim. Once the cabinets and counters arrive, those will be installed and then all that will be left will be carpet. Then we can finally move back in. Our goal for completion is November 16th since we have 23 people including 9 children under the age of 4 coming over for a Thanksgiving dinner.
