The beat goes on...

We are making good progress. We took out a wall as well and it really changes the way things look.

Pool fun

Yep, we splurged and bought a small pool. The kids just love it...so do Hannah, Joel, Nathan and Mary.

Basement...

We are making progress...if you call taking down the ceiling tile for half the basement progress. We also put some river rocks into the window well to make it look nicer as well. I don't think we will paint the window wells though.

Now the question is whether or not we want to take all the ceiling tile down and just drywall the entire ceiling. I have a feeling that is what will happen. However, there are a million staples left from taking the tiles down so now the real fun begins.

The Basement has begun!

We have finally started to work on getting the downstairs ready for two new rooms. First we cleared out the clutter and then cleaned the walls. After the walls, the window wells and windows were cleaned. Next up is the ceiling in which we will take the tiles out and the lights. We will also spruce up the window wells with some new rocks on the bottom, new paint and new well covers. Here are some pictures of the kids pitching in to help us.
