Time for carpet!

It's about time. You know, working lots, and being a dad and husband takes some time, but really, it's all good.

So, here's the news. We're getting carpet on Friday. I've got some touch-up paint to do this week, but on Friday, the basement will be habitable with socks. That is our goal. To walk to the basement in our socks or bare feet and not worry about getting them dirty.

Peace. Calm.

Now what?

Pictures, I guess.

1. From the hallway looking towards the back door.











2. From the middle of the living space looking down the hall. Laundry to left, mechanical to right, mechanical straight ahead, and almost not visible bathroom on furthest back right












3. From outside entrance looking at pantry and paint and shoes on right, hallway on left.










4. From bottom of steps looking at outside door. Picture taken at 3.30 p.m. Stupid daylight savings time. Bright at 6 am, dark almost after lunch. Wait, I digress.









5. Staircase. Notice beautiful trim boards up each side. Had to remove 9 treads and risers to adjust the stringers to add the trim on the right side. Reset treads and risers to be in the center of the space. I added a light and switch at the top of the stairs - otherwise, it's really dark and dangerous at the top of the stairs. Now it's well lit and safe.
