Miracles Can Happen

Miracles really do happen. We have been trying to finish our basement for over a year. It has been really slow going. We are a bit limited because Cody and I don't know how to finish a basement. We have been at the mercy of both of our fathers.

Consequently, the only times that anything of significance gets done is when one of them comes to our house. However, this last week we have got so much done.

Here are some pictures of how it looked on Friday morning Feb. 13.



Here is how it looked one week later on Saturday Feb. 21.




We got the painting done with my dad on Friday and Saturday and then Cody's dad came up on Monday and we got the plugs and lights in as well as touch up paint. Then my dad came on Thursday and stayed until Saturday finishing up the trim. Cody's dad also came on Friday night to help with the tile around the fireplace. We are so lucky we have such wonderful dads. We are grateful for all of their help.





When this is all over I am hoping to take a little break from home improvement projects. However, we still have garden sprinklers to work on in the spring. It never ends!

Anne, it looks great! I can say that I am a bit jealous, we have been in our home for 9 yrs and have only half of our framing done. Money is always and issue. But hopefully soon we can finish it.
