After several weeks of ripping down the ceiling, tearing up carpeting, appointments with contractors, trips to Home Depot, and making decorating decisions, our basement project is completed.
It is amazing how hectic life gets when part of your house is under construction. All of the steps you take to avoid that part of the house, all of the time it takes to plan around the repairs, etc. And we had most of the work hired out! Even that takes time and coordination. Since it was so dusty because of the drywalling, we tried to keep Mali out of there for the better part of the week. But that meant that we had to work her schedule around the electrician, the carpeting appointment, the window appointment and everything else. I think any changes to a household routine are even more difficult when there is a baby involved--they seem to pick up on their parents' stress. However, egardless of the process, it is oh-so-rewarding to relax in that space again. And as you can see, Mali is a big fan of the new carpet.

Hi Guys!
We too did some re-modeling lately, so we feel your pain. Imagine a two-year old running amongst live wires, nails, tools, and worker men who want nothing to do with her. It sucked!
But now it looks great. We're trying to sell our house so we did all the improvements on it that we've wanted to do for 3 years, and now we're gonna leave...
oh well, take care and keep posting pics of that cute kid!
