Basement Update

The construction continues. Our basement is starting to look really good. All the drywall is up. The men finished taping and have slapped on one layer of mud. The mud will dry tomorrow (and we will enjoy a day of quiet). They will do the second layer on Friday.

Next week: sanding (the dirty part), painting (the fun part), and hopefully flooring. The carpet we chose is a berber/plush mix in the colour "soft silver". It closely matched our stone floor on the main level. The walls will be an unadventurous beige. (We have adventure enough in our green-green-green paint upstairs.) We'll put lino in the bathroom and laundry closet. The woodwork will be oak veneer to match the rest of the house.

Fingers crossed, our basement could be completely finished in another couple of weeks.
