One month later and I wish I could say that there are no more boxes, but let's be honest-- the boxes are keeping me from finishing the last 6 months of my yearly calendar project and the monumental slipcovering endeavor that I hope to plan to do. We are having a great time in the basement these days. I tell everyone who asks that it is great. The Mickey Doodles (as Caitlyn calls them) are so laid back and generous that it seems a bit unreal.
In other basement news, we have our own-- complete with 2 inches of solid ice. Which I am told is ok, since it will help the concrete cure. In addition to a basement we have framed walls, cut-out windows, trusses, a plywood roof, and exterior doors. Wow. If you are thinking that went fast, you are right, it hasn't even been a whole month and they have shaved our close date by three weeks already. I will admit that until they finally cut out the plywood covering the windows, I couldn't really get excited, but now I drive past at least twice a day. Jeff, on the other hand, has been like a kid on Christmas morning over even the hole in the ground. He must have a better imagination than I do.
In other news, Congrats to Jim and Nance on their new daughter-- a girl changes everything. Really.
