Thanksgiving Day Project

Our goal was to make the back basement bedroom a little more appealing. This picture is not flattering but it shows that I (we) painted. The walls are brown. This wall turned out great the cement walls not as good. We decided they should have been treated before painting, but non-the-less they are better than they were. Getting this new piece of carpet downstairs was a two man job done by one man. It was quite a process but he did it. Another feat is that Dad decided the room needed lights that turned on by a switch at the door. I did not know he could wire but after several hours of trial and error he did it. Now the room has a light switch. I asked him how he knew to do that and he said watching people and the internet. What a man! Next project he plans to tackle is a door on the room.

Putting the carpet down. It fits the room. Goodbye old gold carpet.

Finished project. Dad also put up the piece of paneling on the unfinished wall. Yes Dave and Anita that is your coffee table. Your love seat is also in there. We decided it was a safe place for them both but we don't intend to keep them. :)

I even hung a pictue on the wall and got new bedding. I had fun making the collage of older pictures. Dave and Anita are the lucky first occupants. :)
