Welcome, friend, to my blog. It's been 2 weeks since my last update, and much has transpired. Let me bring you to the current state of disarray in my basement.
The framing for the bath and mechanical is finished. I'm waiting on a friend (licensed plumber) to return from a trip, and he's going to add the shut-offs for the bath, and I'll finish the plumbing. At least if I screw it up, I don't lose water to the entire house. (see last year's fiasco).
Added power in the mechanical room and a fluorescent fixture controlled by a switch. I can now see the beautiful sorting I've done of my paints, stains, tiling and other materials under the stairs.
Added 11 can lights to my basement yesterday and today. It's very bright. I'm over 1/2 finished with the framing down here (permanently finished!!!!) and am insulating and drywall adding as I go. See, here's the rub, my wife and daughter are out of town this week. She doesn't know I'm doing this "little" project this week. Mostly I'm just resting and watching movies. Which I am doing when I'm scarfing down food. There is all manner of stuff in my basement. I don't know what to do with it - except for move it away from where I'm working, then to put it back so I can work around it. Yeah, model of efficiency.
Oh, Home Depot in Arnold is my friend. They helped me this morning load 30 sheets of drywall, 55 studs and 15 bundles of insulation. Of course, nobody would come home with me and unload it, so at 6.45 this morning, I was a busy little bee.
I promise, gentle reader, to update tonight or tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a charge in my camera, and I'll be able to take a picture or 4 to share with you.
