In order to make room for our growing family, we will be moving Evan into a big boy room, hopefully sometime around his 2nd birthday. As a result, we will be moving the "office" into the basement, which is something we have talked about doing for a while. Bruce is currently working two days a week from home so not having an office is not an option. Plus if we can finish the basement, it will not only add value to the house in the long run but also make that a more usable space for us. We had two contractors come and give us a quote for the work we are planning to do and unfortunately the quotes were a bit higher than we would have liked. Thankfully, Bruce is really handy and is able to do most of the work by himself...or should I say with the help of friends and family!
Before getting started on finishing the basement, we (and I use the term very loosely) needed to fix the crack in the foundation that occasionally allows water to seep in. Bruce started on this, not so fun project this weekend. It worked out nicely that Evan and I could get out of the house for the day and go to the birthday party for the Wheeler's so that we could just let Bruce work. Evan loves to "help" daddy but unfortunately he is not much help right now. Wait a few years, kiddo, there will be plenty to help daddy with! Stay tuned for more updates and photos on our (really Bruce's) progress! (Please ignore the mess in the basement. We have already started making room and moving things around.)
