The contractors came this morning to begin the basement remodel. We finished clearing it yesterday, just in the nick of time. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. And they promise to be done in less than two weeks. Yipee!
I don't usually air my dirty laundry like this, but *yikes*...I want to document where we started. I talk about how the mess began here. Here are two photos that show where we started from.
Again...yikes. It just sort of happened over time. Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and kiss it goodbye. Here it is...cleaned out and ready for the contractors.
And where did it all go? Here, mostly.
Filled to the brim and ready for pick up. It's been fun putting stuff out to the trash and seeing how quickly it gets picked up for re-use. Metal bed frames, old gutters, pipes and weights were hot items not lasting more than an hour before getting snapped up. Until after reading Shona's experiences, I didn't believe it could happen, but it does.
I'm fighting dumpers remorse hoping someone claims this dresser.
Seeing Blair's made me think of the possibilies of giving it a new life...but, no...no! I must resist!
I'm most excited about
-
more than one electrical socket (no more swapping out freezer/washer/dryer/dehumidifier etc)
-
lights with switches (no more pull chains)
-
and block windows to replace these horrors
Yuk. When did that happen?
Two weeks friends...and I'll be showing off my new space.
