Well, the men are wrapping up today. I am so glad. This is the first time I've ever hired someone to come in and work on my house. I've always done work myself. I enjoy DIY(Do It Yourself) projects. This project of waterproofing and structurally improving my basement was too big for me. So I hired a company to come in and do it. But to be honest it's awkward having somebody in your house all the time.
I learned the value of contractors like my father-in-law. Companies that offer employees that are trustworthy enough to leave in your house while you're out are a huge advantage. This week has required that either my wife or I be home. That really hinders things. But they're leaving soon, things are fixed and the walls have all been Drylocked with a white paint that is part of the waterproofing. So everything in the basement is brighter and smells like the chemicals that are in the paint. But all in all it's looking nice.
Now I've got to start moving things back to their places. (Everything was moved to the center of the basement.) Fun DIY project.
