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 not matter.  It is done, and now there is another 1300 square feet of living space!  That is exciting.  My only disappointment comes in the fact that I now have to move a bunch of heavy furniture down there.  When it is over, it is never really over.
