In the Basement

So, Brandon and I have been renting out our home in Ogden and we finally got it back. Hooray! Well, kind of. The cute little thing was fairly trashed so I've been a bit distracted over there. I have been taking photos of the flip, so I'll try to catch up with what I've missed (everything). 

So, scary basements... You've never been in one you say? Well, I have two in my life at the moment. I must admit, the flip basement is starting to look like the basement of a well functioning home. It's pretty exciting to see the framing and sheetrock go up. 


To the left there used to be two storage rooms, the middle wall came out and the window has been cut larger to create a bedroom. The first time I opened one of the door I was expecting a dead body. I have a fairly vivid imagination. To the right of the bedroom will be a closet for the washer and dryer. 


A utility room to hide the ugly necessities. 


This is kind of a long thin room, but it gets nice light and would make a great playroom, family room, or office. Maybe I have Halloween on the brain, but it used to look like the from that the little girl from the ring lived in. Only in a basement and not a barn. 




The last time I stopped by the sheet rockers were busy as can be so I snapped these last few pictures quickly to get out of the way. 

I'll be busy working on my house so who knows what you'll see next. Maybe you'll see our cute little house on Brinker.

A Quick Tour

Well, I'm a rotten blogger. I could bombard you all with multiple posts, but is that tacky in the world of blogging? Anyway, here is a quick "before" tour of the house on Grenwood. I've got lots of picture of progress being made, but here's a look at what we started with. 

A Lovely Living Room
