Musings of a Punk Rock Father

It's been over a week since I last slept in my own bed. We've been staying with my mother-in-law because we are having our basement finished. I can't until we can move back in so I can upload some of the photos showing the progress.

Work started the week after Thanksgiving. Once the framing was done and the dry-walling began, we had to head out of the house. Our garage and living room were/ are full of materials. As of Sunday night, there was a huge pile of drywall, 2x4s and McDonalds refuse on the floor, but all the drywall was up. Monday they began taping, and will finish tomorrow.

Our contractor is also going to put a new floor and ceiling in our bathroom. We have to buy a new sink and toilet so he can install those as well. Last time I tried installing a toilet it was a lot of effort. We're opting for a pedestal sink and cabinets from Ikea.

The carpet is supposed to be installed Friday, which means all that is left is to paint! So then we can buy our new furniture and with any luck we will ring in the new year in our new room!

We can allegedly move back in tonight. We'll see!
