We built our house when Datan was 1 1/2 yrs old and put in an unfinished basement. Thinking that it would take forever to need the extra space and that we had all the time we needed to get it done. Three kids later we now know, time flies. I can't believe how fast it seemed that we needed it finished. We've already lived a lot of life in this house making a lot of memories and I still think of it as our new house.
Well back to the basement. Chris loves to learn and be hands on. So he wanted to do all the work on it him self. He did so much and learned so much along the way. I must admit it was hard for me to be patient since he could only work on it on weekends and holidays, but in the end he did an amazing job and really put his whole heart into each step of the process. With each step he did research, asked around and figured it out carefully.
Here are the things he did. Hopefully I remember them all. The framing, the electrical(with the help of Rivkah's husband. Thanks Mike.), the insulation, the painting, the casing and floorboards, the tile and bathroom fixtures. The only things he didn't do were the drywall and the HVAC. I'm sure he'll say I missed somethings but I just want him to know how proud of him I am and how much I love our extra space.
And yes Moriella is doing carpet angels. Yes we were that excited about it being finished
