Basement Update

I sure do miss my little blog.

We've been working hard around here with all the things that come along with homeownership.  Not really blog-worthy stuff, just maintenance and regular work. Like weeding the garden, mowing our giant lawn and doing the laundry.  All stuff that really doesn't warrant a post but takes up so much of our time.

Any time we can find, we are spending in the basement working on Elliott's Room, the Hallway and Family Room.  Here are a couple progress shots from my iPhone of the family room.










So far, we've completed:
  • Electrical layout
  • Electrical Installation
  • Framing
  • Drywall, Mud and Tape
  • Painting


I just finished priming the room and will be painting everything out in my fave Benjamin Moore paint colour, White Down (CC-50).




The trim and built-in cabinetry will be painted BM White Dove (OC-17).




And Elliott's Room is already painted with BM Grey Owl (OC -52).



Our goals for the weekend include:

  • Complete the painting in the family room
  • Select Flooring 
  • Sand Mud in Hallway
  • Prime Hallway
  • Door Installation


I'm really hoping to get back into posting regularly - it just seems that activities and life are constantly keeping me busier than I would like to be.   I've moved from working part time to a full time schedule at my regular job so I'm finding it hard to make time to do everything.  Hopefully I will be able to find some balance soon.
