basement demo...

demolition man...

the basement is stripped down to just the studs we are keeping...

my workhorse sis, lucy!!! colton and her were such a big help!

colton...thank you so much for you help!!!

refinished door knobs and hinges ready to be installed on closets upstairs...

the weather was so nice that they had to escape the basement to enjoy some sunshine!

brian and colton building a new gate for the backyard...

lucy and sarah working on a gardening project...

taking a break and soaking up some winter sunshine...

Thanks for all your help...Lucy, Colton, and Sarah! We have lots more work parties to come! Our next step is to frame up the new walls, the lumber is in basement and brian just bought a framing nail gun, so it should go fast. I will just stay in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant and keep my work part fueled!!! :)
