...and the angels are singing...oh wait, that's me!

AHHHH!
After three very long years, we have finally gotten our basement finished enough to live in it...and we are loving it...and yes, you will finally stop hearing me complain about it not being finished! I have officially shut up! Greg worked so hard with many hours under his tool belt and along with our family and friends (huge thanks goes out to you...we couldn't have done it without your help). We still have a lot of work yet to do, but at least we can use it while we work on it now.

These first two pictures is what it looked like when we moved in...along with all of our crap. Look how little Jett was...oh my! The first year we got the walls framed up. The second year we got drywall up.

THEN this year we got the drywall finished...painted...and got carpet! The day it was insalled we rolled around on its softness and did carpet angels. We had so much stuff in storage, we didn't really have to buy anything to furnish our added space. We were given the tv, chairs and beds for the spare bedroom. Everything else you see has been in storage for three years. We still need to do trim, electrical work, finish the closets and finish the kitchen...and in about another three years put in a bathroom. But for now, we are content and happy with what the Lord has provided.

Kitchen in progress. Imagine cabinets, fridge and island. For now the boys' card table will have to make due:)

The family room. Behind that wall is the spare bedroom. The boys love the space and that their shark tent is up ALL THE TIME! And yes, that is Jett vaccuming. He loves it. I can't deny his request to work...no child labor laws can touch me...he asks to do it:)

Family room facing the other way. That couch you see was my grandparents in the 70's. We've had it since we've been married, so the few purchases that I made was the cover and pillows to hide the peach flower fabric. Although it may not look the best - it's a rockin nap couch and quite comfortable!
