Some people were interested in how the water proofing work in the basement went. Well, it appears to be working after a big mess. The crew came a couple weeks ago and in two days dug a trench all the way around the basement wall about two feet deep, installed gravel and pipe leading to two sump pumps on either side of the utility room. To do this, they also had to cut up the wall about 2 feet and cut through room walls. Needless to say, it's still a mess down there but we are talking to contractors now and are planning on adding a shower to the bathroom, fix and paint the walls, install a new floor and build a storage closet. Then we will get some new furniture and turn it into a giant kids room. I hope it's all done by August.
