We’ve kept up the momentum on getting the playroom really truly finished. Before the party we were able to get the painting fully done!
Finished painting!
Ready for furniture 🙂
Since the party we’ve kept up the work – I finished up most of the electrical in the playroom (waiting on switches before I can install the fan but outlets and recessed light switches are done).
We finished painting the shelves for the built-ins! And I’m already filling those up!
Shelves painted
Shelves getting filled! I got to pull 2 boxes out of the basement of things that have been packed since we lived in NH!
I’ve been painting the storage base to my craft table and just finished the second coat on that last night!
Craft table – ready to get set up this weekend!
This table is going to be amazing – more storage and a big space for both the kids to craft and me to sew! I can’t wait for that to get set up!
I’m waiting on some new bookcases I ordered for the playroom before most of the toys move in but once that is set up I’ll get more pictures. By then the room should be finished fan and window wise (I have to scrape the paint off the windows still maybe this weekend).
In other big news – Ryan and his Dad started work on a new basement project on Monday – cutting a huge hole out of our basement wall to put in a new double door. It took all day and they made good progress but it will be most of this weekend working on it before the door is installed I bet.
Cuts had to be made from both sides to get through the 10″ of concrete
Full day of progress – next up jack hammering to get it down to the bottom
Still to go – clearing out the rest of the concrete, cleanup then putting in a new header and installing the door!
We have piles of dirt still in the basement from one of our very first house projects – putting new support beams with footers in – we’ve been waiting for this door before we get that dirt out (rather than cart it up a flight of stairs in buckets) – so I’m excited to finally clean out and organize the basement after this project!
The house is really coming together. Maybe we’ll even take a break from house work soon – hahahaha!
