Ah, there is nothing like coming home to a flooded basement. I am sure many of you have experienced this also. Well, our basement has always been a dump. When we moved into our house a couple of years ago, we renovated everything on the top two floors (just 1200sq ft) and lived in the 400 sq ft basement for 5 months with 4 dogs! Yes, it was interesting to say the least. After we moved up to the main house, we did nothing but use the basement for storage and laundry.
Here are a few pics of the flood/water damage after James had been working on it for about 3 hours! Excuse the blurry pics 🙂
My office after we moved just about 1/4th of the furniture upstairs. Yes, I have a chair fetish!
Thank you, Will, our neighbor!
Our neighbor came over and helped us wet-vac a bunch of the water, move furniture upstairs, and then James cut the carpet piece by piece and rolled it up so we could get rid of it… ugh. So this was Thursday night. Today we decided (my husband decided) we would knock this wall down in the basement we keep saying we are going to get rid of…ah a handy husband is really nice to have! Here is James tearing down the wall…go baby, go!
And this is what it looks like after a day of hard labor by my husband ..I think I might even be able to paint a little down there now, even though this is supposed to be the “man cave”.
Need a lot of work, but it's 100% better than Thursday!
Would you like to come to the tag sale in my basement?
It's all about the stacking!
Many thanks to my hubby; we will keep you updated on the progress of our basement renovation. Hope you all survived the weather.
