All Work and No Play

So I don't think I have posted anything about us working on the basement. Finally, It feels like it is nearing completion. My Grandpa Bob helped us every step of the way and taught Scott alot.

Last weekend was probably the most frustrated we have been during our basement finishing. Scott's parents came up to help us prime the drywall. We thought we were all set since we had borrowed a paint sprayer from our contractor. We should have thought differently when we saw pink congealed paint oozing from the hose.

But that didn't deter us. We spent probably a good 4 hours and 2 trips to home depot attempting to fix the sprayer before I broke down and told Scott to rent one. Then, due to our inability to read instructions we neglected the information that the drywall primer required thinning. Well, it really needed to be thinned down. All of our patience was tried but in the end I think we finished by 2 p.m. the following day.

Most recently, Scott and Grandpa worked on the tile. Grandpa did the bathroom and in front of the door.
While Scott tiled the bar area.




In the meantime, Camryn had a blast playing with her Aunt.
