The basement - unfor..n since we moved in.

Old Basement Carpet....yuck!

old carpet down hallway

The prior owners tenants would let their animals poop & pee on the carpet and they also felt the need to dump there cat litter onto the floor, how sanitary.

Troy taping off the basement ceiling

basement prior to paint & new carpet

It took me 5 hours t.. these stupid cracks

If you or someone yo..n this took FOREVER.

Finally putting a co.. primer on the walls

One coat of primer, ..dy looks much bigger

Since I will most likely never be able to paint carpet again, I thought I would have a little fun
I will probably neve..ble to do this again

Scott & Kristi "Copi"

Since the stupid cracks took me so long to paint, I was unable to finish painting prior to getting the carpet installed.
Brand new carpet

Molding up steps

Beautiful new basement

Yes....the inner door frame will be painted soon
Molding & some stuff on walls

After many talks and compromises, Troy & I decided to remove a wall in the basement and create a game room. We will build a bar, put up bar mirrors, have a dart board, add a air hockey table and a few other cool game room things. With the wall down it makes the basement seem so much bigger.
