Down to the wire...

A week ago our basement was a few outlets, a shower, a gas fireplace and wood studs that framed out the walls. We got 2 quotes from some dry wall guys - chose the best guy for the job, hoping possibly he could start hanging sheet rock to form real walls and a ceiling before our baby arrives.
Two guys hung all the sheet rock last Friday - they worked non-stop from 7:30 am to 4:30pm - it was amazing! This week they have done all the mudding/sanding, and today they sprayed the ceiling - ALL DONE!
Adam can hang the lights back up tomorrow when the ceiling is completely dry, and get started on painting the primer on the walls. Currently all the things we had stored in the basement are crammed in our laundry room - there is a small path going to the washer and dryer. Our house messy right now, piles of things everywhere, dust everywhere - but now clean up and organizing can begin.
Now to pick out flooring and paint colors - we are going to double our living space - so exciting!
Mostly I am excited that the messiest, most dusty part is over before the baby gets here.

Speaking of things coming down to the wire, the baby could be here any day but in less than 3 weeks for sure - CRAZY!

Exciting times. :)
