101 in 1001: Organize/Finish Basement – Task Complete

Ok, this task has been complete for a while, but I’m just now blogging it.  When my grandparents lived in our house, the basement was finished, but after a window broke, the whole space flooded causing a lot of damage and mold.  It would have needed a little updating anyway, but after the flood, there was much more that needed to be done.  Thanks to our parents, the space was cleared and the mold problem was taken care of prior to us moving in in 2009.  We waited to refinish the basement because we wanted to see if any water was still getting in.  Well, the basement stayed dry, so all new drywall went up (including a new wall to create a closet space), A LOT of painting was done, and new carpeting was installed.  Add a couple of couches and a projector and you have a livable space for relaxing and watching movies.  It’s also turned into Kevin’s office on Fridays.  Below is a video that Kevin took right after completion.  Now there are a few more decorations and many more toys!
