Progress!!! Going to be a great space and I really like the doors outside and how much you’re getting in what’s technically a basement.
May I ask, where did you find sconces? I have some hideous ones to replace in a few rooms. I keep finding ones that plug in instead of hardwired. I like the look of yours but would need other colors to match our stuff.
You certainly have excellent contractors working for you. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap to find guys that actually show up when they’re supposed to and also do great work. I guess I’m just jealous and consider my recent projects a “learning opportunity” instead.
Keep the updates coming! It’s motivating!
Thanks, man! Yes, never had a walk-out basement before but now I don't know if I could ever go back to not having one. It's clutch, for sure!
My wife found the scones on Amazon...here's a
link to them.
We got quotes from multiple companies/contractors and looked into the one we settled on even further by asking one of my parents neighbors about them after seeing their trucks in that driveway. Very happy with their promptness, cleanliness and quality thus far.
Probably going to hire them again in the future when the time comes to add a 3rd stall to my garage!!!
Very True, having a contractor and certain trades show up during holiday season sure can be tough, but good ones know their name is their money so they are there on time and do excellent work. Taking pride in their work and the final product is what it's all about.
I'm a bit envious about the space, having an extra 900 feet at my place would be awesome but my house was so poorly laid out that a blind man could have done a better job. but it was built in 1912 so it's been modified oh so many times lol. enough of me rambling
Hope You and Misses and Boy's have a great holiday.
Ain't that the truth. The guy who owns the company we used has his name on everything, so he clearly wants to ensure they do only good work. Some of the guys we had in here for quotes, you just knew early on they were
not the ones for the job. Like the one guy who tried talking us into adding hardwood floors in our basement. HARDWOOD FLOORS in a basement?!?! Yes we are waterproofing it, but still, the humidity level tends to be higher in a basement. You know what isn't good for hardwood floors...HUMIDITY. That guy was a dope.
We really need the space...with the boys getting bigger and outgrowing their current play area (which is where we originally had our kitchen dinette set located), we need a new place to store the majority of their toys. And daddy needs a dedicated location for movie nights and football Sundays!
LOL wow, 1912, that's impressive!! But, yes, home layouts weren't the focus back then.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, as well! Stay safe, Happy New Year and here's hoping to a much better 2021 for ALL OF US!
Maybe this summer we'll finally be able to get our BMW's together.
