Basement

Brynnlee loves tools and being down in the basement when we are working. She loves the sound of the saws and drills. We have to be extra careful to unplug everything between uses because she loves power tools. Her shoes are on the wrong feet and no her hair didn't get combed this particular day. Don't worry it isn't snowing in our basement, it is all the dust from tearing our a wall and doors.
Lexie would come downstairs while we were working as long as no power tools were going. She hates the noise. She loves to use the shop-vac to clean up all the messes we make. She kept going downstairs to visit with the sheetrock hangers. They were all mexicans and she would really like to speak spanish. She would come upstairs and tell me she didn't know what they were saying, but one did say "hi". She would hang out down there all day if I would let her. She would just follow behind them and pick up screws and nails.
Framing and wiring all done!
This is how the girls have looked most weekends this summer

JD and B doing last minute things before insulation and sheetrock!

It seems like we have been working on our basement FOREVER! We have had a lot of help and many late nights. This weekend it looks like it is all paying off. Sheetrock is almost done. Mud and tape will be done this week! Then on to finish work and paint.
