Basement update

Well, things are really starting to progress downstairs. After framing for the past two months (when I had time on the weekends), I've finally moved on to other stages of the building process...thank god. Last week we had the full bath installed, and last night we started running all of the electrical/cable/phone wires. So, from 6pm - 2am we (myself and two very helpful friends) worked on that...and we still have a few more hours to go. We do have working recessed lights though, which is great! As you can see from the pics, the drywall was delivered today...so sheetrocking will start on Monday (which means plastering should be done no later than Wednesday morning!). My goal is still to have it done (well, at least almost done) by Claire's 1st b-day party on the 15th...so the next few weeks will be busy! As frustrating as this process has been at times, I just keep thinking of the day I'll be able to sit down there with an adult beverage, and watch a Packer game on our new 46" LCD (which should be here in a few weeks!!). More pics to come next week after the plastering is complete...



The 12' sheets of drywall that were delivered today...thankfully they took it downstairs!
