This has involved lots of weekends spent with Dad Lehman, plus a little bit of outside help. The project has taken waaaaayyy longer than we planned, but I'm sure the end result will be worth it. We are at the point where the drywall needs to be mudded and sanded. Then we can paint. Yay!
Since the sanding is such a messy job we decided it would be best if we removed all of our belongings from downstairs up to the front porch. Keep in mind that we have not yet sorted through all of our belongings from our pre-married lives, so essentially 50% of what we moved was junk. Now our screened in porch looks like something from an episode of "Hoarders"; but we hope to start sorting through all the boxes very soon. We've already planned a joint garage sale with some good friends of ours. I've also made a pack with my friend Jessica that we will not move the junk back into our houses after said garage sale. The sale is set for June 18th, so our basement is sure to be nice and organized before we miss too much summer sunshine.
Here are some lovely "before" and "during" photos of our basement:
