Progress

Our basement remodeling project is coming along this summer. The sheet rock is up and the plumber and electrician have done some work. The windows have also been installed in the girls' rooms. We are waiting for the walls to be completed. The toilet, vanity and sink in the bathroom need to be installed. The ceiling still needs to be completed as well as the final touches on the electric. Todd and I will have to make a trip to Grand Forks to buy floor tiles for the bathroom, rug/carpet for the rooms and paint. I am sure there are other things I am forgetting about! Of course, Todd is getting ready for harvest and I will have to begin preparing for school. I am hoping we will be able to switch houses before the late fall. We are going to wait until the winter before we paint anything upstairs. New carpet upstairs will also have to wait until the budget allows. The girls are VERY excited to get into their very own space! Here are a few pics to give you an idea of what we are doing:

Here is a picture of the Bathroom. You can see the shower in the corner on the left. We are going to have a large sink-less vanity installed across from the shower. You need one of those with 3 girls (whor are going to be teenagers before we know it!)

Here is a veiw of the Family Room (with Rachel's room in the background)

This is another view of the Bathroom. The toilet and sink will go on the left of the shower on the little ledge. The ledge has to do with a new style of toilet we had installed so our brother-in-law didn't have to break-up the concrete floor. Don't ask me to give an indepth explanation!

This picture was taken from the stairs. The door on the left of the black pole is the Bathroom. The entrance behind the pole is a large Walk-in Closet. The other two doors are the Bedrooms for the girls.

Here is a shot of one of the Bedrooms. You can see the new window that was installed. The picture doesn't do justice to the size of the bedroom. It is actually pretty large. It will be nice for the girls to have more space to grow. Sarah and Jordan will share the bigger room and Rachel will have the other one.

Here is another view of the Family Room. This picture was taken from the bedroom. It will start off as a playroom for now. We will eventually move our current living room furniture down there when we save some money to purchase a new set for the upstairs. The door in the back of the picture leads to a much needed Storage Room!

We are looking forward to having this large project completed. Neither Todd or I have been involved in a project such as this so we are very thankful to have a brother-in-law in construction and does this type of thing for a living!
