Construction Update #7

This should be our final update on the basement before it is finished. Tomorrow our contractor is coming to let the carpet installers in and finish the trim along the floor.

This past weekend we had company and we quickly put them to work. Dad, Josh, and I built shelves in the unfinished portion of our basement. They turned out great and on Sunday Sara and I cleaned and moved boxes and tubs to the new shelves (they are quickly filling up!!).

I also wanted some extra light in that back area that so Dad and Josh ran wiring and installed 3 lights that are on pull cords while I made yet another run to Menards.

View through the other door to the storage area under the steps.

Immediately to the left of under the steps we put this shelving unit to store all of our 'extra' kitchen stuff (you know, all the essentials like an ice cream maker, popcorn popper, carafe, waffle maker, etc.).

Thanks again to all who came and helped this weekend. We really appreciated your help.
