Beginning next Wednesday the Packer house will officially be under construction. We have talked about for a while and finally decided that we want to finish our basement. So, before we headed to Texas for Christmas we interviewed and got bids from 4 different companies. When we got home we decided on the company we wanted to go with and this evening signed the contract and set a date to start work. We are so excited to turn that space into something functional for our family! When it is all said and done it will be a playroom for all the kids toys, a media/family room then a 3/4 bath and a laundry room!! They have told us it will take 9 weeks MAX to complete but most likely will take less than that!! It is really hard for us to picture what it will look like when it is complete but we know it will be great and can't wait!! I think the worst part of the construction is going to be the fact that I won't have my washer and dryer the entire time they are working. We have to move everything out of the basement including those because there isn't anywhere to put them out of the way and because there will be a lot of dust that could potentially damage them. That will definitely be an inconvenience but we will make due! I am going to try and document the transition so to start it all off here are the before pictures. There is a ton of junk down there right now and it is a TOTAL disaster because Maddox plays down there! We were expecting to begin on January 23 so when he said next Wednesday tonight we were like holy cow...because we have a lot of work to do to get it all cleared out before then!! We will get it done though! So, here are the before pictures...
