Finishing the Basement

This year chelsea and I decided to finish our basement to create more livable space and hopefully increase the value of our home. We bagan in April, and with the help of my family, (Dad, Mom, Jacob, Kelly) we were able to go from a bare basement to having all the framing and electrical and plumbing done all in one week! We were grateful for their help and sacrifice of a weeks vacation to do this with us. We put in some grueling hours that week, working from 7 in the morning to 11 at night some days. But the amount of work that was accomplished was tremendous.

The next weekend my dad came back up to help start the drywall, which again was much appreciated. And with the help of my brother Ron we got a lot of drywall installed.

Over then next few months Chelsea and I worked on the basement little by little doing work after our full time jobs in the evening. Today we are having carpet installed! We are almost done. The only major project left is to finish the bathroom out.

Enjoy the Pics.
