Construction 101

After four years we finally started construction on the basement. Before we could start building the bedrooms we needed to install larger egress windows. The original windows were 12"x30". Not very safe and it made for a very dark basement.

We hired a local company to cut the concrete and install the new windows, but we had some demolition to do first. The walls were "creatively finished", and we had to get the make shift wall coverings, insulation, and studs off the wall. The boys LOVED this.

So did Ches...demolition is a great stress reliever!

The finished result...three 4'x4' windows. Lots of light and an easy escape.

Now it's time to frame and sheet rock. The goal is to have the rooms done this Fall. I sure hope it happens, I'm starting to feel a bit crowded.
