Our basement.

Ok, so for those of you dying to see how our basement is turning out... here it is.

This is the main living space. It will be a playroom when all is done. I'm hoping to get cubbies or something and moving the majority of the kids' toys down here. For now, the area where everything gets dumped. Notice the air hockey table upside-down on the couch?
Ok, so this is currently the bone of contention. The picture above is from the entryway to our new media room. Notice the nice square on the wall? As of yesterday, that was a pass thru in the wall that Derrick then decided didn't make any sense, so he covered it up. Our dry wall guy is going to show up tomorrow to find a covered up patch, and wait for it... what else did D do? See below... He decided that we needed a half wall that will be turned into a bar where we can place stools below it. At least he's handy... even if he is somewhat crazy. The doorway that I am standing in front of is going into the media room, then that bar area will have cabinets to house the popcorn machine, microwave, refridgerator, etc... and the door behind leads into the bathroom.
Picture of the media room/guest room. No light in there yet, so not the best pictures.

Bathroom. Shower in the corner. All the plumbing is run, but we can't install anything until the walls are done. They should be done this week.
Chad's brand new room. This makes up the space where we showed the first pics of the guys digging all the mud. New room. Walls all blue, except for the one where D is going to paint some sort of Star Wars mural.

Otherwise, we think we're almost done. We head to L.A. in 3 weeks, and I hope to have it all painted by the time we leave. (I have to do the painting, with whomever I can draft, so we'll see how long it really takes!). Then, when D gets back from L.A., he can put the trim in and hopefully get it carpeted. Yahoo! Almost done!!! Will post more pics as it gets closer.
