The basement is finally done!  It ha been a long, three year journey.  It was three years ago that we first requested a quote/bid on the basement.  I never did get the final number for a quote, but I know I could have bought a couple of cars for the amount spent.  That part does…

Today has been a good day.  The sun it out, and it is not too hot or cold.  I had plenty to do outside, and I got everything done I set out to do.  Yes, there is always more to do, but I am satisfied.  The only thing left for me to do is finish…
