It has been a long, productive weekend for the Swans, which we spent mostly working on the basement. We removed most of the top layer of the old floor, filled in and then sanded the holes in the walls, framed out a window, replaced lots of rotted wood, cleaned all the walls (vacuumed and then scrubbed down....), primed all the walls and painted all the trim white. It was hard work, but I'm glad we're making progress. Next up is painting the walls - I decided on a shade of blue from Sherwin Williams. Then hopefully next Saturday we can install the new floor and start filling up the space with our stuff (or at least purchasing the storage containers/planning how to most effectively use this room).
As a reminder, here was our BEFORE picture:
And the "DURING" pictures...
And to showcase Mr. Cob's handwork - here was the before picture of the window that was not framed:
And the after - Didn't he do a great job!
And the floor...Mr. Cob did some demo on this section of the floor. You can't really see in the pictures, but this part of the floor is higher than the rest and quite uneven. We're not yet sure how to remedy this problem. We might have to get inventive.
