Remodeling the Basement

daddytoddSo anyway, I've been a ghostly presence on LJ for the last several months. Several reasons for that: new job, a new cub added to our household, lots of travel, and the remodeling of our basement (after 11 months of talk) finally started last week. Attached are some pics of what it looks like today:
From the Stairs
Reverse View
Around the "L"
The drywall had to come down off the ceiling to get rid of the sparkly cottage cheese applied in the '70's. We're putting up knotty pine tongue 'n' groove, which should give it a "cabin" effect. We're also building in bookcases along two walls (the long wall, and the far wall in the "reverse view). The entertainment center will be around the "L."
The lighting will be replaced with a dozen or so "can lights" in the ceiling. The carpet will be light sage. I think it will be really cool when it's all done; if only we could find an electrician to come and do the wiring, we could get started on the ceiling!
