New livingroom - neues Wohnzimmer

We're not done, but it's getting there...Noch sind wir nicht fertig aber bald wirds soweit sein.

New shelves...and some plants...and some decorations...

Endlich...Finally!

1 down, 2 to go...

Basement update

Basement (Keller) renovations

Laundry room door and the "closet" under the stairs is being worked on now.
Different view of the closet under the stairs.
Ben's toys are down here now; I cannot wait to get more stuff moved down!

Boxes of books. Where are my Billy Bookcases? Yes, they are still upstairs. Too much dust down here still....

Beautiful new doors to hide the mess!

Remember this??

Then the walls went up...

And now I have doors!!

View from other side.

Closet door open, showing cabinet (and the water heater is behind it). Furnace hidden behind other door.

Momma is very happy today. Just have to do a little more touchup painting...

Progress...sort of

Closet doors - check



Office furniture moved in - started

Floors, and trim, and carpets...

How did I get from this...

...to this again???


But at least the little green bedroom which had no trim or floor...

Now has trim around the window, and on top of the new carpet!!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

We finally have a new floor. And Benjamin, without pants (I don't know why he's not wearing pants...), likes it.

Subfloor

Paint!!

More basement - Renovation

NEW DOORS! I'm standing in the office looking toward the bedroom.

Yes there is another door. Here I'm standing in the bedroom looking at the office door.

The floor in the office looked something like this - uneven, choppy, cement:

Scott, our mason (who did the front porch), came and leveled it. Now it looks like this:

We decided on carpeting in these two rooms. Decision to be made asap.

Priming - malen

Standing in what will be our office, with a new big closet to the right. Looking toward the tiny bedroom (where the window is). The window leads to our backyard. This part is all primed.

Hier steh ich im Büro. Schrank rechts. Dort, wo man das Fenster sieht, ist das kleine Kämmerchen, genau gross genug für ein Bett und nicht viel mehr. Das Fester schaut zum Hintergarten hinaus. Hier haben wir fertig gemalt (das heisst, erst mal die Grundfarbe).

Standing in the same spot in the office, with view of the closet again, and the little window leading to the neighbour's driveway.

Nochmals das gleiche Ort, diesmal aber sieht man das Fensterchen im Büro.

Hier steh ich vor der untersterTreppe die zum Keller hinuterführt. Die Tür die man hier sieht führt zu einem Schrank. Dieser Schrank liegt genau unter unsere Vordertür (die Treppe draussen die immer noch nicht ganz fertig ist). Das Fensterchen führt zu unserem Parkplatz und zum Nachbarshaus. Werde nochmals staubsaugen müssen, dann malen.

Hier I'm standing at the bottom of the steps which lead down here. The little window leads to our driveway. The door leads to a closet which is underneath our still unfinished steps that lead to our front door. The steps outside are useable but not complete with the decorative stone. That was halted because of weather.

Stehe wieder am gleichen Ort und schaue nach links. Andrej malt den riesen Schrank im was dann mal das Fernsehzimmer sein wird.

Hier I'm standing in the same spot again looking more to the left. Andrej is inside the huge linen closet, painting. All our wireless, cable and phone wires are located in this closet. That part of the room is huge, which isn't visible from here, and will be where the TV is located.

Hier sieht man nun die Treppe die hier hinunterführt. Die Seitentür oben an der Treppe führt zum Parkplatz zwischen unserem und dem Nachbarshaus. Nochmals vier Treppen weiter hinauf, und man ist im Gang vor unserem Schlafzimmer.

This is the view of the steps leading upstairs. The side door leads to the driveway, and another four steps lead upstairs into the main part of the house.
