We have finally started finishing our basement!! So far we have had the can lights installed and a switch moved and as of yesterday we have the framing up for the wall and another doorway!! I am so excited about all of the extra space we are going to have!
It was a little noisy yesterday with the saw and nail gun but Colby didn't seem to notice!! He took 2 naps while they were hard at work in our basement! When it was done I took him down there and showed him the framing and told him that was what all the noise was about! haha. =) The guy that did it was awesome! He kept giving Matt a hard time and had me laughing every 5 minuets! He was also very nice and did a wonderful job! When he was done he ended up charging us $100 less than what we were originally told! He basically said that he had kids our age and he just wanted to help us out!
I have some great ideas for furniture and decorating downstairs! A lot of stuff from IKEA and the rest for Target (of course!). I am SO lucky to be having my Dad, Beth and Starr visiting in a few weeks and they are going to pick stuff up at IKEA for us so we don't have to have it all shipped!! What life savers! At this rate we will get our basement finished and furnished for a lot less than we thought!!
As soon as it's done I plan on having a cookout/game night!! Fun times ahead!
Pictures coming soon!!

I love home improvements. You must be soooo excited. Congrats!
We are in the process of finishing our basement. It got put on the back burner because in the middle of it, we got a leak in our kitchen. It was behind a cabinet and so the kitchen had to be torn apart anyway. What better time to remodel it, right? We are doing both jobs on our own!
