Oh the sound of power tools....

We have been in our home for 2 1/2 years and we are finally getting to finishing our basement. We have been going back and forth in our decision to finish it. The last couple of weeks we have been really feeling like we need to finish it. Courtney is getting to the age that we don't think it is fair to kick her out of her room when we have company staying with us. So with this room and bathroom finished in the basement we will have a guest room for whoever wants to come and visit... HINT HINT HINT!!!!
So yesterday one of Cameron's friends is a custom home builder and he said he would come over and help us frame it. So all day yesterday Cameron was down helping. They both did an amazing job and FAST TOO. So now we will have to do the electrial, dry wall, tape and texture and paint in the next little while. We are going to do it has we have money to finish it. We dont want to go into debt for this room. We also need to purchase a shower, toilet and vanity! It will be nice to have the whole house done!!!



Courtney and Derek had a blast putting all the scraps of wood in the truck!
We would go outside and there were more scraps on the driveway that they build into things than scraps in the truck!
So everyone out there... we love company now we have PLENTY of room... Hope to see you all soon!
