Day 3

The work continues! Drywall is up, Inspectors have been visiting, Shower is in!

Tomorrow they should be brining the vanity in so that we can see how big the ones she ordered us actually is.

Fozzy is fascinated by the spot on the floor where the toilet will be. Everytime he walks into the bathroom, he has to go and sniff the same spot!

We hav ealso discovered that Fozzy does not like the plastic that is covering the basement steps... he refuses to walk on it! Any time he goes up or down the stairs, he gets as close to the wall as possible and tiptoes down, making sure that he goes nowhere near the monster on the stairs that might bite his paws! LOL

Everyday, when the crew leave for the day, this is what the basement looks like where they have their stuff left... and since every day it is moved around a little, all 3 cats have to veture over and check everything out .

Bathroom/Basement Project Day 2

Day 2 is officially behind us!

Dry wall started, shower in and several outlets installed. They also got rid of the annoying pipe that was sticking up in the middle of the floor from when the furnace use to be there.

We talked to the deisgner about the options for the vanity. They are going to bring one over later this week so that we can get a better idea of how much room we will (or won't) have between there and the toilet. You can almost see the pencil lines in the floor on the picture of where the vanity will be. We think the inside lines are where the smaller vanity would sit if we went smaller.

Cats are getting annoyed with us each day, as whey have been quarantined to the spare bedroom during the day when the crew is here so that they are not in the way and we don'g have to worry about them sneaking outside. They hear us come home from work and start whining to be let out of their prison...

I think it's going to get harder and harder to find and catch them in the morning before too long!

Basement bathrom is one day closer to being done!

Basement remodel - day 1

It's finally started! The crew was here this morning starting on the new bathroom in the basement! Today they got everything framed in and all the water lines run.

Tomorrow the shower goes in and they will start drywalling. We are actually looking at possible swapping out the vanity/sink with a pedestal sink to save a little room. With the vanity that we were planning on putting in, it seems like it is going to be a little tight between the sink and the toilet. Will have to call and see what our options are there.

One thing I will say - These guys take the time to keep their work space contained. There is a huge canvas tarp hanging in the basement to keep the "construction dust" contained to the ones side, stairs covered with plastic etc. Not to mention, before these guys leave the job site for night, everything is cleaned up (as you can see from the picture!).

Can't wait to see what tomorrow looks like
