Latest Project






Here's Brent with his little helper. It's a huge job to finish a basement! Thanks to James for so much help. It seems he's an expert electrician, plumber and just about everything else he does!
Brent built two archways - one the easy way
One the hard way
This one he angled 2x4's and molded the plywood to form the arch.
Very labor intensive!
He went down the street to see how the mexi's did it - They cut the arch out of plywood - Smart guys!
Here you are looking down the hallway where two bedrooms and a bath will be.


Can't wait to have it finished. The nine foot ceilings make it seem less like a basement.
Brent has become and expert taper.

Thanks to Mandi we now have clean fridge coils.

Holy Smokes!!!! I am in awe with how much is done in the basement. The archways look absolutely fabulous. How did those "mexi's" get so dang smart?! hahahahaha. So funny. Everything really looks great.

Yeah ... we need to clean our fridge coils too. Looks like you guys used your vacuum attachment. Good idea. I wonder where we would buy a coil brush? Home Depot?

LOVE YOU!!! Yay for a new post!!

hahaha! Glad I could help!

How would it be to have a husband that knew all that stuff?? Sigh. (Don't tell Paul I said that.) It looks awesome so far!
