The Gods Have Smiled Down on Us

What’s that I see off in the distance?

It’s hazy.

Non-distinct.

I can barely make it out.

I think it might be a finish date for the re-model, looming up on the horizon. Still a long way away, but I think we can officially celebrate our “halfway done” point. Except for some truly minor things, the basement is now suitable for human habitation.

Observe:


That’s Ellis, calling someone on her toy phone, “Yes. Hello. Yeah, it’s true, my Daddy is a moron and it’s taken him 122 years to get the basement re-done. I know! Can you BELIEVE it? It’s finally done!”



Ignore those ragamuffins on the stairs, they are merely window dressing. Instead focus on how lovely that paint job looks. Oh, and the rest of the house looks like the stairs look in this shot. Cluttered and unfinished and with nails sticking out everywhere.

  3. Thanks!

    And let’s just forget about putting TWO coats of the absolute WRONG color on the walls the first time around. Man, I’m just a total spaz about home improvement.

    Although… Gigabit Ethernet in the walls down there…

    Spaz, indeed.

  4. Beautiful basement.  Well done!

    Like I said before, I have an attic loft that could use some work!  =)

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
