Basement Status

Brandon, the guy who did the drywall/mud/tape and texture, wrapped everything up and got done in 1 week... WOW.. amazing. (go here http://brandonsbasements.blogspot.com/ to his website) We couldn't believe how fast he got done and what a great job they did!!
Today Glenn sprayed the primer on and white ceiling paint. We are gonna roll the rest and paint in the next couple of days. It is looking so good.. we can't wait to have it done. Glenn has next Friday and the following Monday off and hopefully we can complete most everything then - cuz then after that the soccer season is in full swing and our Saturdays will likely be filled with outdoor, sunshine, fun and exciting times. Glennie had a scrimmage this morning and it was SOOO exciting to see his new team out on a real field(not indoor like they have since November) - they did awesome.. they played a U17 P2 team and tied them 1-1. (Glenn's team is U16 and ended up in Classic - thanks to CYS - oh well!! at least it looks like we will have one awesome season - slated to win most, if not, all our games)

Anyway - here's Glenn after spraying for 6 hrs... :)
Almost blends in with the wall!
This is the bedroom looking towards the closet and bathroom - all the tile has been purchased and ready for Glenn to install!!
This is the theater room.. soon this whole thing will be dark... dark gray/blackish/blueish tones.. no white ANYWHERE in this room :)
Rec. Room... The recessed part in the wall will hold the cue sticks for the pool table - got a stinking good deal on the pool table 2 Christmases ago.. $100 a walmart. Cheap and chincee but who cares... it will serve the purpose. Also those 2 closets will serve as our food storage closets.
Check back in a couple days - I plan on taking more photos when we paint the colors. I can't wait!! This is my favorite part.. the trips we take now to Home Depot are MY kind of trips - brainstorming, decorating and having things pull together are some of my favorite things to do!!
