We had a wonderful Christmas, and since we asked mostly for gift cards for restaurants or the house we have ramped up work on the basement again. First on the list, was finishing the drywall and getting some paint up on the walls.
We picked a nice blue color, and tried to get our light yellow from the hall to show up downstairs. I really like the blue, but the yellow comes out rather blah. Maybe we need to invest in some better lighting and then it will look a little more professional.
Then, we moved right into hanging a door, adding more insulation, and getting this place a little more air tight. It has been a cold number of months, and it really helped to close off the garage from the rest of the office.
On a whim we decided that tile was going to be best for the flooring down here. Not sure how we both came to the same agreement so quickly, but we did. Floor and Decor around the corner from our place has a great selection in all kinds of prices. With the recent sale of my truck, we headed off to buy some tile.
Installing it was a bit trickier, since we had to completely remove all the items that were in the office. With my brother-in-law's help, we got started on the tile and finished all of the mortar and laying in one day. Nevermind that the day started at 8 am and lasted until 1 am; the point is it got done.
Grouting is a different story, as it is still a work in progress.
Next up, cabinets and a countertop.
