We are the champions (or at least we know a few) and have now crossed the finish line. With a couple of months to spare, we had "no time for losers" We can't thank everyone enough for their help in finishing our basement. This is leading down the stairs to our "reading room". This is a perfect space for some bean bags and a book shelf for silent reading.
Braeden moved his stuff quickly to his room. He makes his bed every morning now and has requested no blinds or curtains saying, he likes to "watch the trees move"??? Talan has also spent the night here with Brae...Aww he misses his buddy.
Thanks to mom and dad for helping out with the $$$ and broken water pipe, Kenny for too much to list (electrical, heating, framing, insulation, mud, doors & molding), Justin for spending countless hours "bonding" with Cody as he sheetrocked & textured, Alyssa for the paint (LOVE the color) Richard and Dad for framing, Steph for letting us use her sprayer and telling me to have Cody do it and for everyone and their encouraging comments as we tried our hardest to learn from others as we go. For those of you who know Cody and I really understand what a huge feat this was for us. We do not ever claim to be handy (just ask Cody about the Christmas lights, shelf in the garage and dog run...) Anyone missing any tools please check with us as we didn't have more than a hammer before beginning and have aquired a few things that we really don't know what to do with :) Co and I will keep on fighting to the end :)
