I’m tired of waiting!

Ok..I know the hubby just posted a blog about how painful it is for him to finish the basement…blah blah blah! Don’t feel sorry for him. We have been in this house for over five years with the plan to finish the basement in “a year or two.” Well each year would come and go, and still no basement. We have desperately needed a playroom and a guest room and so now we almost have that. We have been very budget conscious while doing this project, and I have paid for a lot of things myself with my small but reliable “nest egg.” I have painted, designed, hunted down things at IKEA and Craigslist and done a pretty good job on a tight budget. So don’t let him fool you…yes the floors were a big expense (around $5K), but he installed them himself (and did an excellent job.) And lets not also forget that we are increasing the square footage of our home by 1/3 and adding serious value to it as well. In a week or so, I will post photos of the finished playroom and bedroom. Keep posted.
