What have we been up to?

Not even half way done digging.

Hmmm...I don't know if this floor is going to recover.

We just burried the concrete!

Since school has gotten out, we have been doing a lot of major home improvement projects. I don't have pics of everything. We did finish the shower downstairs. I will later post before and after pics (such a relief to have that one done). We have been working a lot on the backyard. It is still not to the beautiful stage, but still in process, so I will also have to wait on those pics, but what I am posting is the process of the basement. If you don't know, we live in a split level house and we used to have a kitchen down there. In the last two years we have slowly torn that out. Now that it is gone, so is all the wood paneling and everything else in that room. We decided to put in an egress window to let in the light and make it a little safer down there. So my dad and Bobby dug the 6 foot hole, two guys came and cut the concrete, and then Bobby and my dad put the window in, put in the metal egress thing outside, we all filled in the hole and now it is just waiting for a small fence so Mia doesn't go wondering off into this huge hole we now have near the back patio. I will post more as it goes along. Oh yes, I should also post the pics of the beautiful fan and can lights we got installed in the living room - best money we have spent on this house!
