When I arrived home tonight around 5:30pm , one of the construction guys was still working on the basement. I believe he was working on the capping around the ledges and maybe the door frames. He left around 8pm!!! He told me that the basement was ready for painting. YEAH!!! Robert (the general contractor) had told me last week that the painting should be completed by this Friday. Then all that is left to do is putting in the flooring, bathroom stuff, the electrical/lighting stuff and those little finishiing touches. So in 2 weeks or so from now I will have a totally finished home. I am looking forward to that - do some rearranging of some furniture and then spread out my frame pictures, paintings and rug hooks and figure out where I can put them. The colour for the basement is a medium brown, with the bigger window (3 in the rec room area) I thought I would take the risk of a darker brown as you do receive plenty of sun.

I already have my first party slated in November to baptize the basement (figuratively not literally - haha) - I am having a Gals Tea Party in early November - Amanda, Ocean, Amy, Journey, Sara, Sierra, Char and myself have so much to celebrate with different changes that have occurred or goals achieved. I will be moving my dining room table downstairs were I can put the two leafs and then get a smaller table and chairs for the smaller kitchen nook upstairs. Now the fun begins finding furniture that will fit down that sharp staircase into the rec room.
