Long Over Due Basement update

So remember way back when - about 8 months ago when David started on the basement (HERE)?

We had a LONG break.  The summer came and everyone just got super busy and then I was basically out of business for a little over a month so David had his hands full with Benjamin.  It wasn't until a few weeks ago that he was finally able to get back down there and start working again.  Thankfully his Dad has been a HUGE help and has definitely sped things up a bit.  This week the drywall people came and it's really starting to come along. So right now, all the dry wall is hung and they are just finishing up on the tap and mud process. 

 This is the space you see as soon as you open the door to the basement
 And once you step in the basement and turn right this is your view.  This room will be the main living area with couches and a TV - that opening towards the back will be door-less and will flow into the second room which will most likely be a combination of work out equipment and my craft stuff

And here's a better view of that second room

 And the other side of the second room with the huge closet - we'll use for seasonal clothes not in use.
 And finally the third room which will be the spare bedroom




























There's still a pretty good chunk of space behind the stairs that will be left unfinished for all the shelves David built earlier this year for storage - but it's FULL of stuff right now so I will spare you the pictures.

Can't wait until the lights are turned back on downstairs so I can show pictures with the actual walls up.  Right now it's justtoo dark down there.
