We apologize for the lack of posts but it was odd at the house for the past couple of weeks. First, nothing was getting done and then everything snowballed into a whirlwind of activity. Now a ton of things have happened and it feels like we are getting closer to feeling like we are on the home stretch.
One accomplishment of special mention was our decision to enlarge the two south facing basement windows.
As you can see from the before during and after shots, we went from small virtually worthless windows to full size windows that not only let in a tremendous amount of natural light but also serve as a second egress point in case we ever want to turn the basement into a legal apartment.
The increase in cost was probably about 4 fold but the ability to turn a basement into something that feels like a regular living space could be worth more. The only real drawback is that we now have two giant (think bear trap) window wells out side that will need to be covered for both security and safety.
Overall, we feel we made the right choice on this one. Huzzah!!
