Let the Work Begin

The basement guys just arrived and are starting to renovate our basement (half of it, anyway) this morning.  We've talked about it for years, realized it was important (at least emotionally and psychologically) after the storm last year, and were excited about it as the kids got bigger and took up even more space!  It'll add about 25% to our occupiable space (basically it's half the area of our first floor).  And so, today is very exciting and we've been looking forward to it since we decided a few months ago to do it--except there isn't anything for us to do now that it's started, except wait approximately 2 weeks for it to be finished. Still, exciting.
