And this morning:
You're seeing a few things in this photo. First, drywall! Yay for drywall. I hate drywall mud with a fiery passion, but damn if I don't love the results. Also, you're admiring my beautiful new window. It opens! And it's a legal egress window! And it's pretty. Win-win-win.
You're also seeing a test-run of our new flooring. Isn't it stunning? It wasn't the cheapest option (though at $3.49/sq.ft., it's quite a bit cheaper than lots of other engineered hardwood), but it really closely matches the flooring in the rest of the house. Our end goal has always been to make this room feel like it belongs in our home, and I think this flooring (despite costing $1 more per square foot than I'd originally hoped to spend) really goes a long way.
You're probably also wondering what the hell is happening at the bottoms of the walls, though. Good question. Those are the cinder-block footings for our walls (oh, the joys of what you find when you rip out old paneling). You can also see the water pipe (which we'll be disguising with some built-in storage) in the center of the photo. Here's a closer look:
But hey, you're also seeing our now-covered outlets! And how's this for ya:
That's right! I trimmed out the small window, and I think it looks about a thousand times better than it did here:
Or even two days ago:
Next up: trimming the big window and laying the floor. Fingers crossed we can get most of that done this weekend. Slow and steady wins the race.
