The Breitenbuchers

Well, the basement is done. I added some pictures to flickr and I’ll post them here as well.

I took about an hour to through together a slideshow of the project. It is big (112 MB) so it may take a while to load. It should come up in a new window.

We are to the finishing stage. I took some pictures of the walls when they were primed and with the final color. There are a few more finishing things to be done and the carpet goes in on Friday. We’ll have furniture on Wednesday and cable on Thursday. I’ll put up pictures of the finished project before furniture and after.

The finisher and two of his sons were here today to wrap up the dry wall. They have done a fantastic job and matched the existing texture in the stairwell very nicely. If we painted the stariwell you’d never know that the basement was finished all along. Tomorrow is the puppy show.

I think they are ready to tape and finish the drywall.

We have drywall and a strong glue smell; can’t wait for that to go away. I hope the basement is dry enough that it won’t require extra time between coats for the finishers. I think we miss the second week of May if it requires extra drying time.
