I love the smell of concrete in the morning

Ah, I love concrete! Having our basement floor poured means that we are that much closer to getting the house done. Now that the floor has had a week to cure, the furnace can be hooked up to the ductwork, which will allow them to heat the entire house, which will allow the drywallers to get the mudding, taping and sanding done, which will allow the painters to prime and paint...and on and on. Meaning...that we have officially entered the "finishing" stage of this project!

We already know how we plan to use the basement once it's finished:

Future bar and lounge area:

Future bedroom and bathroom:

Future utility and craft/sewing rooms:
