If it's not one thing, it's something else. About a month ago we noticed some boxes in the basement were wet. A few days later I noticed a small stream coursing through the basement. Awesome. So we had companies come in, got estimates and about had a heart attack. Oh my goodness!! I can't believe the price we had to pay to get this basement "fixed". We weren't even going to get to see the outcome!
So, the guys came on Monday to start working. They began with a jackhammer and kept that up for about 7 hours on Monday (minus smoke breaks and lunch) and then another 3 1/2 on Tuesday. I really was ready to run downstairs and yank it out of that guy's hands and tell him to find another way. Lucky for that guy we went to story time and got a break from the noise. Either Lilly wasn't bothered by it or she was exhausted because Monday she ended up sleeping for 1 1/2 hours while they were working. She was ready on Tuesday to leave the house!
And so, the basement is now complete and the cement is doing it's thing. We'll be able to set the washer and dryer back up in a couple of days. I'll have to come back and re-tile the perimeter of the floor. That should be a hoot! I've never done that before so I'll be calling on some friends around the neighborhood. It shouldn't be hard, just peel and stick tiles, I'm just worried about ones that I might have to cut. All I have is a pair of scrapbooking scissors and I wouldn't even dream of cutting more than a thin piece of cardboard with those puppies!
Have a good one!
