Can we build it?

So after living in our house for just over a year, we have finally (FINALLY) begun renovations! Not that our house required a whole lot of fixing up, perhaps some new paint here and there, but the basement was unfinished... but soon to be finished :)
Jared, and the help of our framer friend Matt, and Pete our tool-time neighbor... the basement is almost completely framed. Of course this is only the first step, there's still the drywall, taping, electrical, painting etc. But at least its started! When its all finished our house will go from a 3 bedroom , 2 and a half bath... to a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath (all the more to clean). Plus we are moving our 'living/rec room' down there, and Jared is busy designing and inset wall to hold our new 52" TV (which we still have to purchase... but build the space for it, and then the incentive to fill it will be there;), DVD player, speakers, and shelves for books, cd's, or dvd's. Plus there will be a little office space, a storage/utility room, plus room under the stairs. It feels so good to finally put all this 'unused' space to use! I'm really excited to see the finished product... Can we build it? Yes we can! lol.. so cheezy, I know ;)

How much fun! I wish I could have come for the building event - too bad I had to work. *SIGH* It looks great, you must feel so proud of yourselves.
