This morning I imported all 730+ posts from the past back into the site. I spent a bit of time removing obvious posts that are no longer applicable. I still have a bunch of clean up to do, so please pardon the dust while I work to remove irrelevant posts from the site over the next couple of weeks.
Thank you for your understanding!

After nearly 7 years the basement project is drawing to a close! The family room space is now inhabitable! The kids had a good time settling into the space last night when they returned home. We now just have some final decoration items to finish and a shelf here and there, but otherwise the room is complete!
Its hard to believe that the basement project is about to draw to a close. The carpet was installed today. The shade is lighter than what I had originally planned but the walls are already pretty dark and the carpet was very affordable 
Check out the images below…
I went carpet shopping yesterday. I ended up getting a bit lighter of a carper than I originally planned to, but it was the same quality carpet I put into the basement office and t was in stock and affordable. The best part is that they will verify my measurements this morning and install the carpet tomorrow afternoon.
I am having another coat of paint put onto one wall today. The wall has gotten pretty scuffed up in the final construction phases and with the kids playing down there.
Friday will be a trip to Ikea in Canton. I’m putting a list together of the basics but here is a sample of what I am looking at…
The white desk is for the north wall. The bookcase (3) and cd tower (2) will line the wall on other side of the staircase going upstairs with the lamp on top of the bookcase. The TV stand will going in the square section of the Family room. In addition to the above I’m looking for some basic shelves and frames along with some coasters.
Saturday will likely be post Ikea assembly day!
Monday was spent banging out the ceiling in the Family Room. It actually came together quicker than I thought it would. I also got the tools put away, clutter picked up, vacuumed, and wiped down the walls with the good ole’ swiffer.
This morning I will get accurate measurements for carpet and begin the shopping fun for carpet. I’ve also got a trip to Ikea planned for Friday for some bookcase and desk shopping.
As always… the complete Basement Project gallery of images has been updated. It can be viewed here. 469 images in total… wow!
