Elysha's "Birthday"

We can't put anymore fresh flowers in until the spring, just artificial flower stands (standard practice). Last week they put in wooden stakes to mark the graves so one can find them in the snow.

Our Basement part one

After a few weeks of waiting, the work began on our basement this past Monday. It is coming along very quickly! The tag line for the company is "Beautiful Basements in About 2 Weeks" or something close to that. With the size of our basement, it shouldn't be any longer than that!

The Laundry room isn't being finished but will be closed off with a door and have it's own light switch. Right now it's holding the couch, treadmill, pantry, freezer etc...it's a little crowded.

These two pics show the 3 piece bathroom. Stairs are on the right.

The electrical has been roughed in and they've started digging the flooring up in the bathroom as some of the plumbing has to be moved.

It's hard to tell from these shots but we have a lot more room in the living area than we pictured. I couldn't find a picture of it but they are putting a box seat with cupboard doors around the sump pump in the back corner which can be used a seat, tv stand, shelf, etc.

I'll post more pictures as significant changes occur.
