Construction is done

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this past week I had my carpet installed in both the basement and my entire 2nd floor. And on Thursday I had my final building inspection and final electrical inspections. Both inspections went perfectly and I passed both.

THAT MEANS I'M DONE!

I'm working on furnishing the room and will some post some pics once everything is in place. So far I have my big TV down there and I bought a Lazy Boy reclining leather sofa. I'm also going to post some final numbers to give you an idea how much it really costs and I will include some final thoughts.

Here are the before and after pictures and videos.

Quick post

I haven't updated the blog in a couple of weeks because I'm waiting for carpet to be installed. The good news is carpet is going in Tuesday and Wednesday next week. It will take 2 days because I'm having the upstairs re-carpeted as well. I'm home next week so I will also have my final electrical and final building inspections too.

  • patch concrete small floor cracks (not really necessary but I might as well do it while it's open)
  • touch up paint in new rec room
  • have carpet installed
  • final electrical inspection
  • final building inspection

In the next set of pictures the basement will be done.
