basement quattro - march of the flooring

Matt's been moonlighting.

Slaving all day at the computer, he then parties the night away with dense foam underlay and particle board in the basement. Last night, he got the padding in place and has worked diligently on solving the problem of leveling layers.

Next stop: laminate!

basement III: drywall delight

rock and roll, ladies and gents - the basement is starting to look like an actual room!








Saturday was a blitzkrieg of drywall action. Matt's brother Kevin came over and was a huge help, his own reno skills being top of the class. Together with Matt and Tom, the trio were able to make big strides in the crucial area of "walls".






Coming up this week: mud, sanding, scraping and leveling!

happy fun basement! now with...wiring!

More basement fun...last week and weekend were all about the wiring.

Matt took point on the network wiring, while Tom used his mad lx skills to set up the power supply.

Next stop: drywall!

basement update

Matt and Tom spent a good number of hours this weekend moving the basement project forward.

The story so far: Matt's managed to clear out a large portion of our junk pile and toss out the nasty old carpets. Then, it was time to level out the floors with a little extra concrete.

Up now: starting to frame up the walls. Progress has been really great - two of four walls up!
