Jesse and I both agreed our first big project would be our basement. We wanted to add in a second bedroom and nice place for our guests. Well, after permits got in the way, we decided to tackle our master bedroom instead and shortly start on the basement.
We envisioned it would be a quick project... yeah right.
Here is a good rule of thumb: When doing home renovation projects, the amount of time you think a project will take, multiply by 3. Even then, you will be lucky if you can finish on time.
Jesse and I had a crazy thought that we could finish by Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then shot for when my sister got here in February.
Well, it took until now, but no more sleeping on the living room floor for us! :)

It is not completely finished, but we are happy with it. I am not sure anything in the house will ever be completely finished :)
Keep reading for future blogs (hopefully soon) of how we put up the rock wall, finished the floors, made our awesome platform bed, and insulated EVERYTHING. It was hard work, but paid off.
Now onto the basement...
