Lately the big project has been the guest room in the basement. The room that will become the nursery is currently a guest room, so we needed a new guest room.
Here’s the layout that we came up with:
Why is there a wet bar in a guest room, you ask? Well, originally this room was going to be a media room, and hopefully one day will be used as such. We’d love to put in a murphy bed so that 90% of the time it can be a media room and the rest of the time it can be a guest room. We’ll see if that ever comes to fruition.
In the mean time, we’ll have a huge guest room that has a nice wet bar in it, which will actually be convenient, because until we add a bathroom to the basement, we only have one bathroom.
All of the framing is complete, the electrical is roughed in and hopefully I’ll get the insulation finished tonight. Then comes drywall, electrical finishing, trim and carpet. Think we can get it done in the next 2 weeks before the inlaws arrive? Let’s hope so!
By the way, the consensus on the piano is to dismantle it and re-use the wood for other projects. Specifically, the vanity and cabinet in the bathroom. Now I just gotta figure out how to get rid of the 500lb+ soundboard! Free hunk of scrap metal, anyone?
Hey Kiddo — So proud of you! You’re doing a great job, and God’s blessing your time that you served him in New Orleans over those 6 months!
And, we’re getting excited to see Danielle’s folks soon, so we can all
celebrate this grandbaby’s arrival in a big way!!
Love ya’ …
