Basement project/finishing slowly

We have never lived where there are basements so I wouldn't know anything about them other than what I have seen on TV and read about. I would rather the work go slowly and make sure it is done right than have a rush job and then figure out things that should have been done a different way. Know what I mean? Oh I bet the insulation does make a huge difference already in there. I can just imagine a basement as being damp and cold without it.

We don't really have a lot of basements "around these parts". Hee hee, I used to hear that on western movies when I was a kid. Anyway, none of the members of my family have a basement to decorate. I always wanted my family to get a house with a basement. I'm so glad it is shaping up so nicely for you. Can't wait to see the finished project!

We have septic issues so until we get sewer or a holding tank system ($25,000 I DON"T HAVE), or some huge repair of some sort?, or move we are pretty much outta luck.

I would really like to utilize our basement as more than a place to store plastic storage bins but we don't have the money and we don't have the choice to do the above so we could utilize it.

Hi GRANDPA BOB,




Your basement is certainley coming along nicely and hope it won't be too long before it is all done, hope it will be finished before Christmas, enjoy your gift. I have not got a basemen, its s shame as it would be very useful to us.

it sounds as though you are well on track to celebrate christmas in your new basement. I would love a basement but not really possible where we live. we live near a river, well a big river actually, the Thames! and I have visions of mini rivers trickling down our walls But its really wonderful for your daughter and hubby to refurbish the basement for you. I look forward to more updates. Is mrs. bob still planning to workout down there? I use my cycling machine in our spare room. i also have a stepper.
us ladies have to keep fit

Basement? We don't have basements in California!

I'm certainly no carpenter nor an expert in the field but I'd say this will be awesome when completed and thus far Good Job Well Done Guys!!! Grandpa Bob I know you and Grandma Deb will so appreciate this gift of time and love put into this room. Happy for you.

I have never finished a basement, although my daughter in Minnesota has a nice one. I know that you are going to enjoy this lovely space they are giving you as a gift. It means so much when people give of themselves as part of their gifts.

With the whole starting the house on fire thing we are starting now new projects at this house. I have declared it a construction free zone. Sure do wish some one as handy as you was here for a year or two. Have you ever started a house on fire? I really need to let this go huh?

Thats a great Christmas gift, its lookin good. You will have to post a pic when its all done. I wish I had a basement, but I don't. Take care....
