Its one year and one week today since we closed and moved
into our home. We really love our home and the choices we made. We have been
very busy with painting and adding our touches to make it ours. All rooms have been
custom painted and curtains hung. Our 30 days fixes were partially completed
last month (sad) and we are not letting any of that ruin our fun or joy. We did
not get a finished basement but have been working on it with a contractor for
the last 7 months. So far the basement
has been dry walled and finished/sanded and waiting for painting. We made use
of the entire space 1600sqft in the
basement and came up with our own partitions
which gave us room for the media room, gym room, full bathroom, kids play room,
bed room, living/dining area and kitchen/bar. We have been busy with the landscape/outside work
as well. Here are few pictures for now…

Thank you, its one of our favorites.
ReplyDeleteWOW no nice! We are also doing the basement ourselves, we got a gameroom, bar area, laundry room and a full bath. Drywall starts next week. Of course we are spending more than we ever thought, we have completely done it ourselves except for the drywall. I feel like we never stop though, we love a project :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dw. We have spent more than we thought as well, but we are happy with how everything turned out. We had to hire professionals to do the plumbing, electrical and duct work. The basement took about 600 pieces of 2 x4's and 188 sheets of drywall/sheetrock. We didn't realize how big the basement is at first, but we are very happy we did the work on our own. The builder was only going to finish less than half of the basement for 30k and so far we've used subs working for the builder and spent a fraction of that amount and all we have left is painting, doors, trim and carpeting.
