Basement Remodel...Take 1

We have officially started the basement remodel project as of this morning. We will update occassionally with a few pictures of the work.

In summary, we are removing a very large and underutilized bar, adding a bathroom and a bedroom. A few other misc projects will occur at the same time but those are the big ones.

Here are a few pictures before the remodel started:

The very large and underutilized bar is above. As a side comment, this bar is what houses our Sump PUMP. When Tom told Duncan this, he alerted me there was a fire in there and continues to tell everyone that comes to the basement. Why...because fire trucks have Pumpers. :)

The door on the right goes to the storage room. The window on the left is new - an egress window for the bedroom. (That window was put in on Thursday)

That brings us to tonight - which we will call, "NO Dirt" - Duncan is not pleased with the dirt in the basement - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree on that one :)

This where the bar used to be and the infamous Pumper.

There is the door to the storage room mentioned earlier and a new cut out which will be a pocket where the toilet will reside (and of course our DPK).

And last but not least...the dirt that Duncan so disliked.

The first day is usually the biggest for noticing the changes so we will update again when things continue to progress. They estimate it will take about 6 weeks, we are hoping that is accurate!
