Our New Basement!! Yay!

For those of you who haven't been to our house recently, were redoing out basement. First we painted all the walls everywhere. I mean everywhere art room, main room, guest bedroom, and all the halls, yes even the ones in the stair hallway. Anyway, we had to move everything out to paint and then after we painted ( the paint in our basement is the same color as our living room, and pretty much the rest of our house, we then started to tear out the carpet. (If you haven't noticed, I have been saying we, that's because our family has been doing all this ourselves. My mom is very into saving money if you didn't know that.) Well we tore out the top layer of carpet and if anyone else has done this before knows that there is this squishy stuff under the carpet that is either stapled or glued down. Well we/mom and I took out the squishy stuff out. They stapled it down on the stairs and glued it down in the rooms/hallways. Me and mom took out the staples and then ripped out the stuff that was glued. We had to use shovel's and other gardening tools for this process though. When we were done with that, well that's where we are now. We are going to expand out kitchenette, and put different carpet in. If your wondering, we are going to put the tile for the kitchenette down, but were thankfully not putting the carpet down. Speaking of carpet we also had to carry it upstairs and then put it into a borrowed trailer. It was really really really heavy sometimes. Well this has been out basement expedition, the people are coming to put the carpet in tomorrow which will be Monday march sixteenth. Seriously, our basement looks like a news one, at least to me that is!
