Another busy weekend ...

Another weekend has past! We are keeping so busy with renovations on Mom and Dad Janzen's basement - they've been kind enough to offer their basement to us, and on top of it all, are doing extensive renovations (fun project for me!!) to make the space more functional for us!

It all started with ripping up the old orange carpet - Mom and Dad were so glad to see that finally go - along with tearing old orange shag carpet off of the walls; next, we tore down wall panelling, and knocked off ugly slop mortar from the big brick fireplace.

It seemed like a long wait between framing, putting up drywall, taping and mudding drywall, electrical work, etc - until I finally had some work to do! We picked out some Ikea cabinets for a small kitchenette (putting my kitchen design experience to some good use), new laminate flooring, carpeting, and last but certainly not least - paint colours! We're now in the middle of painting everywhere, and I'm enjoying every last minute of it!

We found out that the carpet is scheduled to be installed in 2 weeks - we've got ourselves a deadline! This week: Finish painting, start installing cabinets & laminate ... there is a light at the end of the renovation tunnel!
