As some of you know, we decided to renovate our basement. The space down there wasn’t as functional as it could be–you had to walk through three rooms to get to the back corner–and it certainly wasn’t pretty or comfortable. After getting several contractors to quote us on the job, we decided to move ahead with the project. We were told, originally, that work wouldn’t begin until after Christmas, but then our contractor informed us, on the day before we left for Alberta for Thanksgiving, that he would like to start work on the day after we got back from our trip. This sent us into a bit of a scramble, since we hadn’t done any organizing of our things in the basement since we moved back. We were able to push the start-date back a day, giving us a day to move our things into our garage before demolition started. Here is the basement just before the start of demolition.
Here is how it looked after about 80 percent of the demolition was completed.
