Remodeling in P-Gar...

In June of 2010 after a weekend at the lake we come home to this...

OLD FAMILY ROOM

YUP...4 or more inches of water in the basement...In years past this had happened a time or two or three or four or more before and we skipped work and sucked the water up and saved the carpet. This time we said forget it...I had been wanting to redo the basement anyway and so here was my sign. (Oh thank you...Thank You!) So we immediately called Thrasher Basements and they came out a few weeks later and gave us an estimate. It really didn't matter what it was going to cost, IT HAD TO BE FIXED. Correctl,y before we could begin. So in August Thrasher Basement came and in a day and a half they had the basement fixed.

So soon my middle child decided he would love to have his bedroom in the basement so with that we deiced to let him move and I then can have his bedroom as a storage room. Storage room is missing in most older homes. So Dad promised Zach that we would have his room done my Christmas. Well that didn't happen but we are getting closer now.

This is the new family.

The wall is where the couch was in the above picture. Bar and fireplace are also gone.

When you got to the bottom of the stairs and looked to the left this was the view.

Now the furnace sits pretty much here. Where the desk is sitting is the furnace now. Better air flow to the 3rd floor in this position. And we can tell.

To the left is Zach's room and the right is the living room. I'm standing in the door way to the bedroom.

Door to the Bedroom got hung this week.

Randy's old closet...Yea it sucked...These pictures are after the flood and the dry was was tore down. But we lived with it this way for six loooonnnngggg months.
