Basement Update

Since Aaron's tiling job, he decided to finish more of this side of the basement instead of starting the bathroom project.  So now it's painted a pretty sand color, the floor's been vacuumed AND shampooed, set up to look somewhat like a living space, and we've also, since this picture, purchased the wood-burning stove and it's sitting on the tile.  I know my craft area's a disaster, but I'll figure it out soon.

This is where there used to be a half-wall.  Feel free to reference our initial house walk-through to remember what this view looked like.  Our bed used to be in that side of the room, just beyond the half-wall, but, like I said in a previous post, we've relocated.

THIS is what's in that place now - Baby Cole's OWN room.  Didn't Aaron do a FANTASTIC job?!?  He had to cut that vent over the changing table and vent it into the house heating system.  He also put in a return-air vent.  Learning experiences and he's loving it!  Last week I also had the fun project of going through all the tiny little baby clothes and washing them and getting ready for Cole to get here.  So excited!

For those of you who were following the little debate Aaron and I were having over naming Baby Coleman or Colton...we've fixed the problem by just naming him Cole Reid B.  Dispute settled! :)

Also, something I haven't got a picture of.  Aaron bought and installed a water-softening system.  This meant that he also had to put in copper pipes to the location, solder, connect things right...learning and loving, like I said before.  And we can already tell an awesome difference!  My dishes are cleaner and I'm sure my shower will have actual see-through doors soon instead of the perpetual hard-water stains.  Love, love LOVE!
