Jim started working on the basement right after Christmas. Weekends and a few evenings here and there. It looks pretty awesome! He finished the drywall hanging yesterday. The lighting and electrical were done a few weeks ago. He put in recessed ceiling lighting and outlets all along the walls per code. It sure is nice being married to a handyman! We hired a contractor to come in to tape and mud the drywall. She will be here next weekend. Can't wait! Way to go Jim! Now the trampoline room will be toasty warm. After they grow out of the trampolines, we will eventually turn this into a theatre room. For now, we are keeping the floors concrete so the girls can scooter and jump in here.
Speaking of trampoline. Just recently the girls reached the weight limit for jumping together. I felt sick to my stomach knowing that they couldn't jump together anymore. This has been our lifeline during the cold dark months of winter for over two years! We decided that another trampoline would be the best option. Jim finished the drywall yesterday and put the new trampoline together this afternoon! The girls were so excited to have their own. Now they can do lots of splits without having to shove eachother out of the way! I think they will miss jumping together, buy safety first!
The backside of this wall is our storage area. It is the whole backside of the basement. Still a large area. The other side of the basement is the finished playroom.
He will do all the trim work after the drywall contractor finishes her taping and mudding. I will paint everything very white as I might try to turn one wall into a photo wall for pictures of the girls. I'll have to dust of my lighting equipment!
Nice work, honey. I love how handy you are! Your girls appreciate all you do!
