Tuesday Basement!

They got the ceiling put up today and it looks great! They will put the texture on it tomorrow and it should be done! We are excited to have that phase done. Our new lights are looking good too with the ceiling! As for the walls - they plastered the walls to make it smooth and patched cracks. Ha ha...patched cracks, that sounds funny!!!

Working 9-5!

Well Tuesday was a big day to get more improvements around the basement, outside and living room! The workers got a lot done and they said they might be able to be finished with their part tomorrow, which is two days ahead of schedule! AWESOME! Here are the pictures of the living room before they got going, there is plaster everywhere!! Then next is the pictures of the living room with the plaster on the walls! As you can see in these picture I was watching the presidental address on TV. I was thinking about changing the channel but decided to pay attention and not watch my DVR!

Zoe Zoo the Tired Dog!

With all of this construction going on Zoe doesn't get her beauty sleep during the day now so she gets her sleep at night! Here's an example of tonight!

Living Room Updates!

The workers today are also working on the living room plaster walls and the ceiling. Here are a couple pictures of the ceiling and the workers. They are working hard to help us get this done!

New Side Door!

We have a side door that you can either go to our kitchen or go downstairs to the basement and the door got damaged so it had to be replaced. The new door is a steel door which really updates the look since our old door was wood. Here are the pics of the new door. They aren't fully done yet, the still need to do the trim around it on the inside and outside!

Smooth Walls!!

Well the drywall/plaster/ceiling workers started today! One step closer! Here are some pictures of the basement walls - they have a coating on them to make the walls smooth. It looks like cement that they smeared on and it just might be. I'm not sure :)

More Lights!

Since we were putting new lights downstairs we thought we would update some other lights around the house while we were doing it! Addison's dad Ron (pictured left)came over and helped us put the lights up! In the picture he is in is at the top of the stairs that go down to the basement. We also replaced the light at the bottom of the stairs. We also put new outside lights on the front of the house and on the side as well. They look great!
