The most exciting house project we've ever done is officially under way! We started the process of finishing our basement yesterday and both Kelli and I are looking forward to it for many reasons, especially because this is the first project we've ever done that is basically a new build! This being our third house we've owned, we have done our fair share of home projects, but until this one all of them have been redoing something that already existed. Those projects are fun in their own way but nothing compares to having a blank canvas to create whatever your eye desires!
We technically started this project this spring when we replaced all the windows and cut in an egress window for a bedroom. Kelli's parents came over to help with this phase and we wanted to get it done first as it was a very messy project! We haven't touched the basement since then as we were planning on finishing it this winter. Even though winter is not upon us yet, with it pushing into the 70's outside this weekend it kind of looks like we're a ways away from winter, we picked up with the basement anyway. This weekend we're framing up and insulating the exterior walls and as we're doing so it's finally starting to look like a construction zone.
So as Kelli and I begin the process of watching our vision come to form, we are equal parts excited for how it will turn out and a little nervous about how sore and tired we will be come spring time when we are finished! Stay tuned for pictures as we progress!
Remember, doesn't matter if its a home project or anything else, the changes that take the most work are usually the ones with the largest rewards!
