The Family Room

Peter's brother Robert was going to be out for a visit in September so it was about time that we started finishing the lower floor. Our upstairs was mostly done and I was getting tired of looking at the tv in the living room. When Pete's dad Steve was out, he saved us a ton of hours by stripping down everything in the family room area. This is what it looked like before we started...
Everything came out. The carpet, the cedar on the walls, the multiple feet of wire, and all the beer can shelving. The cedar was bone-dry and was just begging to start a house fire! All the electrical plugs were not done to code and were too far up the wall. The nutcase had 4 powerbars downstairs all plugged into one corner, and to this day I'm trying to figure out what the heck he needed 24 plug-ins for.

Peter took care of all the construction and I did all the finishing. What a job! There were so many freeking drywall corners to do I was going nuts! Now I can look at our home and say, "I did that" with a lot of pride.
