Basement Project Update

Our basement project is coming along, though much slower than we had expected. Originally we were told it would take 6 weeks. We knew from previous home buidling/renovating experience that that was not a realistic time line, but we were thinking 8-9 weeks may be possible. Well, this past Sunday was 9 weeks since the start and we still have a little ways to go, but they are getting there. So far the floor has been completely ripped out and removed. It was lowered about 7 inches and repoured. It is so nice and smooth now!! The "dry system" has been installed around the perimeter of the foundation. This is a tile drain system to prevent water from coming in from the walls. They also installed a sump pump into the floor to keep the whole basement dry. The studs are up. New windows have been added. All the electrical and plumbing has been installed. The ceiling has been painted. And the new stair case has been built. Now they need to sheet rock the walls and finish the bathroom off. Hopefully 2 more weeks???
