With a baby due in two months and two weeks, a garden that still needs attention, and a nursery to finish outfitting, we have decided that this would be an excellent time to start a remodeling project that was deferred last summer due to the Iowa floods.
It's as simple as refinishing most of the basement. And by refinishing, I mean re-wire, re-insulate, re-drywall, re-paint, and re-floor. That's all.
This Saturday is demolition. The basement has been entirely emptied, except for the ceiling, walls, and floor. Now it's time to get rid of the drywall and insulation. The wiring can stay for now.
In the meantime, Rocky the turtle is living on our screen porch. I hope he likes it okay.
We're fortunate to have good friends who are willing to come over to our demolition party. They're volunteering their time, tools, and trailers to join in tearing apart the basement. Their help could turn two weeks' worth of work for me into a half-day's work.
I'm pretty excited about this Saturday. I get to spend it with friends. And we get to cause mayhem. What's not exciting about that?
