Also, I sharpened the pole picture a bit. Yay, PhotoShop!

I don't know why it looks lime-green, an effect of the flash or camera, perhaps. It's really all gray and white. As for taking it easy - I'm so anxious to get it done!! We had a little hiccup with the electrical which is now fixed. And I can concentrate on painting. But you know how it is - painting really means a week of prep work. I'm currently filling all the little nail holes in the baseboards with filler, and filling in some extra cracks here and there. I have a little work to do on the stairs (they're so old and banged up - I need to fix them as best I can -- wood filler is my friend there). Then, it'll take a while for me to protect the floor. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to that, so I think it'll take a few days at least. I hope to start painting some time next week. I'll be so happy when I can start that stage! And after that, comes the new Ikea furniture and the long time it'll take to put it together. I'll try to do most of it myself, and leave Reid alone so he can work. I'd love to get back to Bell and all of you. Miss you all! Hey Marlene!!

Is it just me, or the lime-green wall paint looks really nice? The area (the structure of the entire basement) looks very much like ours.. but now I'm having a second thought on finishing our basement.. the dust, the clutters, and all the troubles that came with it. The "before" pics are like flashback of when we had our kitchen renovated in our old house. There are no-dust alternatives I saw in the ads, but I'm sure it will cost a fortune. Well, I'm glad your project is now coming together. You just need to get a little more careful.. take it easy.. I still want to see the "whole" of you coming back to Bell. We miss you.. I miss you..
