Most of our friends and family do not know that we have a basement. It is tucked behind our front stairs and is so scary that our friends have used it to film horror-movie scenes for their film school projects. At one point, they had left all of the creepy props from the film shoot in the basement and unknowingly I let the meter-reader from the energy company down in the basement with the eerily scary warning of, "I don't go down there. It is scary."
So we finally decided it was time to maximize all the wasted space and nightmare-inducing creepiness. We contacted
Owen's Corning and they came up with a great plan for us to renovate the basement, add square footage and gain a whole new room in our house! The great thing is that if we ever have any water in our basement we won't have to replace dry wall or worry about mold because of their product! Here are pictures of the transformation. We are so thrilled with how great it turned out. We could not have dreamed that the basement would ever be liveable and useable space. We will post the finished product with the carpeting and furniture a little later! We still have to finish the entryway and stairs to the basement and hopefully that will be done once we have finished speech coaching for the season.
