Under Construction- Update

On today's updates there are ceiling tiles, and bathroom things.....a toilet and a sink!  The whole in the middle that is missing is for the ceiling fan fixture to be put in. 

I really like the bathroom but I had my heart set on a vanity and not a pedestal sink.  I had the one I wanted picked out and it turns out it wouldn't fit. Boo!  Oh well, it turned out pretty good anyway.  Stay tuned for more updates...

Man Cave- Update

Today's update is a combination of several weeks of work.  Its paint on the walls and the flooring put down! Its finally starting to look like a room.  (I forgot to take a picture of the room with just the walls painted before the flooring was put down...So its going to be a drastic change since the last update)

Ceiling tiles to come....

Looking into the bathroom. 

Stay Tuned for more updates!!

Man Cave Update:
This week.... Primer on all of the walls and a picture of the flooring!!

We decided to go with laminate hardwoods.  Carpet is SO hard to keep clean, especially with a crawling baby and 2 dogs!  Real hardwoods are beautiful, but are very expensive and also show ALL of the dog scratches.  This will look just as good and we are saving a dollar $.  =)

Man Cave Update:
The room is really coming along!  The process is a little slow go because our contractor does contracting on the side.  His full time job is actually a fireman.  But he is a super nice guy and does a great job!  This week....Drywall and doors.  (ignore the mattresses)


Sheet rock is in!



 It actually feels like a room now.  This view is standing in the main doorway as you come down into our basement.

This is the door that head out to the patio and backyard.  This door was already here (obviously)


Yay Doors! =)



Under Construction- Man Cave

When Kevin and I bought our house in June of 2009 we had a list of things that we wanted to do to the house over a period of time.

-Fence in the yard.
-Build a "Man Cave" in the basement.
-Cover part of the porch.
-Replace the counter tops in the kitchen

Well the time has come to strike through the second item on our list.  Kevin couldn't be happier.  He has been talking about this for so long.  He mainly wants this room to watch football and baseball games in.  And when he does have poker night, he can use his "man cave."  He does alot for this family and I guess, since I have the rest of the house pretty much, he deserves his own room.  =).  I am excited to host a football party when it gets finished! RTR! 
There is a discrepancy over football decor since we are a house divided.  My sweet husband has said that he doesn't mind me hanging a few Daniel Moore Alabama prints. (I'm surprised) 
The construction started August 20th, 2012 with framing.  We decided to only use half of our basement space for the man ca.  It is very long and I still wanted to have room for Easton's outside toys for when he gets bigger.  Plus Kevin also wanted to build himself a work bench off to the side.  So the pictures that you are seeing are only half of the basement space we have. 
 Since the room is near completion at this very moment (haven't had time to blog), I will just post about updates every couple days. 



The Before



Before

Framing has started

 Our basement was already plumbed from the previous homeowners, so we decided we may as well put in a half bath.  That is what the framed box in the corner is. 

Insulation!



Framing and Insulation....Done!

  Its really starting to come together!  Stay tuned for more Man Cave updates!
