The Wall

There has been a flurry of activity in our basement and as well as the upstairs of our house. Last week the following happened.

UPSTAIRS:
Loft bedroom got a wall. We decided to close it in and make a proper 3rd bedroom, when we lived there we noticed a few issues and while we liked the 'lofty' feel we felt the added bonus of calling the house a 3 bedroom as well as eliminating the sound and early morning/ late night issues was worth it.

Also the new tenents moved in so now wee are landlords! Yikes!

BASEMENT:
We also had some progress in the basement. (Insert a squeal here) What a difference drywall makes! The rooms used to be so dark. Also, seeing the framing and exposed insulation was real getting me down because everyone kept saying " as soon as drywall goes in , it will all happen so fast!"Well after 3 months I was really getting sick of hearing that. So I have been waiting paitiently for the drywall stage so I can get on with the only good part, picking finishes. I have been planning and dreaming of paint colours and floor samples for a year and I just want to see my ideas come to life already! (not to mention move on with my life and stop renovation)

So now that we have drywall I hope the momentum continues and I will be updating a little more frequently. If anyone is still reading I hoping to get a few more posts in but in the mess of moving and managing the reno and new tenents all while PJ is a away has really taken it out of me so, hopefully with PJ back this week and the much anticipated drywall in place I will be a little more present. Thanks for sticking with me, all 3 of you!
