I am trying to blog!!

WE'RE REMODELING THE BASEMENT So we started a remolding project, and it has grown very big. We got the sheetrock, insalation and studs out, then viewing the empty cement I felt it would be good to put larger windows in. So Dad, Thayne and Trent started digging out the window wells, I called A-Core to come and cut them, but finding a contractor who would put the windows in was difficult, so we did it ourselves, I should say Dad and Thayne did it, and they do look great. Next we had to frame up the wall so the fireplace could be installed, this took a few days and on Friday Sept 5th the fireplace was installed, but they forgot some items to install the venting system. He was suppost to return later that day but still hasn't shown up, so we have a hole in the cement, thank goodness it isn't to cold yet. Dad and Thayne are now working on building the venting system outside. Hopefully we can get the propane tank delivered this week.

We added a fireplace, which I love, it makes the basement very warm and inviting.

update on the basement project

Thought I might play a bit with the blogging and see if I can even do it. I enjoy so much visiting each one of your bloggs and seeing what you are doing. We have been busy at our house redoing the basement. This started last summer and was suppose to be done by now. We put in three new windows, which required digging out window wells and then building new supports and filling in around them, not an easy task in the rock infested area we call home. We now have all the sheetrock up and have started the taping.

I was not able to get the blogging done, Trudy is here today and helping me learn how to do this, don't know if I'll be able to remember it all ( old age and all).

Today is January 3rd, and we got the new doors hung yesterday, today Dad and Travis are painting them and the trim.
