Hi Everyone, It's so nice having the basement finished! Jan and I were very pleased with the final product. It took approximately 3 months. Our fun started November 1st, 2002. Personally, I enjoyed every phase of the project. It's nice not having deadlines or a job to contend with when you are doing something like this. Consequently, this actually encouraged us to set deadlines that I 'wanted' to meet... if that makes sense. Doing the trim was my favorite part. I enjoyed learning some of the tricks of the trade. Framing was fun too (I kind of felt like Tim Taylor on Tool Time), but I can't imagine doing it without an air hammer. The same thing goes for the trim. I shot a little over 1,200 full sized framing nails and nearly 800 finishing nails... counting the nails you use on a power nailer is practically done for you, because you load 50 at a time.  

As you browse through this album, the sequence starts from the top left - then proceed all the way across the top (4 pictures) and then go to the next row... ya di ya di ya. Enjoy the pictures and hopefully you can come over and help us celebrate in person. Click on the picture to start.         Dan.&.Jan
