swestrupSo, we once more have a basement. The walls have been put back, and we have gyprock and doors and everything. The construction guys finished the plastering and painting of the stucco today and got paid.
Stage 3 will consist of giving the space a serious cleaning (sanding of plaster has left a thick coat of dust on everything) followed by painting. We saved a few bucks by deciding to do the paint ourselves. It also meant we could hold off on choosing colors.
Stage 4 is to tell the carpet guys that they can come and install the carpet. That should only take them one day of work.
Stage 5 comes next where we ask the storage company for our stuff back and start organizing the basement into its final form. I am somewhat worried about that as we have deliberately given ourselves far less storage space than we previously had. We're gonna have to do some careful planning and/or purging to get everything to fit when we're done.
