basement progress

Okay, well it starts with a cute boy playing in the basement. But the progress comes shortly there after. I feel like we went from feeling like the basement was never going to be done, to it being done in a few minutes. In the last week we have finished painting the basement. We are working on getting the mudding done in the hallway (just don't want the potential for drywall dust to get on the new carpet) so that we can have the carpet installed. The other last minute thing is moulding. Need to get that and get it stained, polyurethaned and hung before carpet as well.

We have them (Home Depot) coming to measure on Wednesday for carpet. Hoping to order by end of weekend and have installed the following week! It is almost done! At this point, we are not carpeting the hallway to the eventual bathroom/closet/work room/storage areas because the cost of the 4 doors alone is another $1000+, so stopping the carpet at the doorway for now. Just want to get the big area done so we can use it!
