It seems that every weekend and some weekday nights we are getting in from work, changing and walking down 2 flights of stairs and becoming slaves to this thing that is called home ownership. This has been going on for some time now and although we have seen drastic changes, the end is not even in sight yet and won't be for some time (unless we wanted to hire someone to do it for us).
We have made progress though on our gutted sqaure shaped basement and have studed, drywalled, laid flooring and painted 2 new rooms (one is a laundry room and one is a workout room). There is progress! Last night was a challenge though and this weekend will be too. We laid the rubber gym matting and that is a bear to get to fit perfectly together without their being any raised joints. We laid some weights on those areas last night and are hoping that with a little time that they will stay down, otherwise we are unsure what to do.
We have lots of work to do and have set ourselves a deadline of Thanksgiving to have the whole basement finished! That will be interesting to meet with a 10 day trip to Hawaii, a wedding coming up, and the Hunt (a horse race...booze fest) all before the end of October. We have a little work to do on the two rooms that we started (one electrical outlet in the laundry room needs to be wired in to the fuse box, base trim needs to be put down once we finish the flooring in the workout room). Then it is on to the major room (to be a 2nd family room/den) and then Scott's workshop. It is not an easy feat but I am sure we will come in close to our deadline.
I will post some pictures this weekend once the first two rooms are completed! Wish us luck and hopefully someday we will not be slaves to our house.

Best of luck...I think home ownership means perpertual slavery unfortunately.
Interesting article as for me. It would be great to read something more about this theme. Thank you for sharing that material.
