Basement Project

I figured a good topic to start blogging about would be our current basement project. Joe and I are in the process of having a basement built. It has turned out to be a huge blessing that we bought a house that had an unfinished daylight basement. If the basement had been finished when the house was first built, there would have been no way we could have afforded the house. Now adding the basement should hopefully give us the equity we need to be able to keep the house and get into a good 30 year fixed loan. The complete basement will add an addition 1000 sq feet to our house, complete with 2 bedrooms, a laundry room, a bathroom and a large dedicated theater room! We are really excited to see the finished project! We are currently working on all the electrical work and after that comes the sheet rock. Most of the work has been done by our contractor and his crew, but along with the electrical we will be doing all the finished plumping, painting, trim work and tiling. It doesn't sound like a lot, but we will have our work cut out for us for the next couple months. Here are some pictures that we have taken along the way to track the progress.
