The Basement

I am getting so excited! I am sure Jared is also. Lately, he will take his church binder down into the basement and shut the door so that the people he has to call don't hear our kids screaming! I think we are crowding him out!! Anyway, Jared has been working so hard on our basement and I want to give you an update of his hard work. He has been working on the drywall. A neighbor has been over to help. They usually will start around 8:30 or 9:00 at night. They are pretty noisy, but the girls sleep through it and that is all that matters!! Here are some pictures.

This is a picture of the "man cave." I am standing where the kitchen area will be and you can see the stairs going upstairs on the left.

This is a pictures of the kitchen area. I am standing near the bottom of the stairs.
Here I am also standing at the bottom stairs. The kitchen area is on the far left, the linen closet is in the middle and then you can see the doorway to the bathroom. There is a door on the right of the bathroom leading to a bedroom.
Here is a lovely picture of our bathroom. We had to tweak our designs for the bathroom. Well, I guess I helped Jared see the light. We have 3 girls and when they get to be teenagers, we are going to need a bigger bathroom than the one upstairs. We tweaked the designs of the bathroom here so that we could fit in a bigger counter top area and Jared even put in one more outlet so that they will have enough for all the blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, whatever they just might need!!
Here is a picture of the doorway to the bedroom that is next to the bathroom.
Here is another picture of the family room, this time from at the bottom of the stairs. This is where Jared will spend his free time!! Watching his BIG TV!
This is the doorway by the TV room. Straight ahead will be a bedroom and the doorway on the right will be for our exercise/craft room. Just a small room, but how much room do you really need to exercise?
I am getting so excited to get this done. Next project, finish the office room. I want to put some french doors on that room so that Jared can shut the door and have some peace and quiet when he has to make church calls or is running late for work and has to do a conference call from home! Hopefully we have the main room done for Jayce and Kylee's birthday party!
