We've been framed!!

So yesterday morning our basement looked like this....





And this is what it looks like this evening.....




We had debated about finishing off our basement for a while now. Considered doing it our self - meaning Chad with the help of bro-in-law Justin - but in the end, contacted a contractor. They started yesterday morning and all the walls are up! We are really excited about this.

They are finishing an office/den space, a bedroom for guests and a full bathroom. They will also finish a wall to close in the water heater/furnace/storage area. Our house is a ranch so the basement is equal to the upstairs in terms of space. The remainder of the basement we plan on semi-finishing. We will put carpet down (or Lowe's will) and Chad will paint the cement walls. We plan on having this space for the boys to play in. Right now, they love riding their bikes / riding toys / scooters around down there, which will end once the carpet is in but it will be a great space for them to run around in. And get some of the toys of our main level.

We will then have a nice space for guests to stay with us. So come on over!!
