Remodel -- Day One

Ok, so no pictures yet. I tend to be so busy working that I don't take time to take pictures. I promise I'll try to do better. Yesterday was spent moving stuff from one side of basement to the other. So thankful for help. I have a friend named Michael Martin who helped me move everything and get set up to paint. We spent a good deal of the day brushing all the blocks, getting them ready for the paint, and then painted.

Now my house has the interesting odor of the paint. I'm sure my wife is thrilled.

Today I'll be doing insulation. Insulating the joists above and the walls around. This corner that I'm focusing on will give my wife and I the perspective of how the rest of the basement will come along as the funds become available to finish the whole thing. Hopefully it will serve as a motivator too.

The reason I'm starting like this is out of necessity. I've moved my office back into my home, and really need to have a defined space for it. While I've made the adjustment back into a home setting the walls and a close-able door will really help.

I'll keep you posted.
