Basement Part 1

We (and I use that term loosely, because the only thing "we" did was clean out the basement and hire a contractor) started work on our basement last week. I'll update the progress as it is coming along.

Before we started the basement was a mess full of junk. These two pictures don't show the full mess, we had actually cleaned out about half of it at this point. Most things ended up in the trash, Goodwill, the attic or are now in our dining room/formal living room, which the boys now call the storage room.

Work was started last Wednesday when 2 guys showed up to hand shovel two 6 foot holes to create our egress windows. Framing began on Tuesday and the plumbing was put in yesterday and today. We will have 2 bedrooms, a family room, a bathroom and a storage room. The boys have already picked out their own room each and Luke is calling it his palace. He is little disappointed that we won't let them move down there for a few more years.
