Basement Reno | old stairs become new

old stairs...

...become new!

Basement Reno | sneak-peek at the painting...

2 coats are on the walls, just a second coat on the existing trim & stairs to go...

Work on the flooring should start later today...

Basement Reno | taped & ready to paint...

We have the best ladder you can get -- A Little Giant -- and we need it for this stair well -- it is a long way from the top to the bottom here, but the ladder allows you to get up there with stability & confidence... that said, you have to be very very careful getting-up there!

Basement Reno | let there be [night] light...

A new outlet was much easier to install than the ceiling lights... just a quick call was needed to Grandpa Clyde to make sure I was on-the-right-track... and the result was [night] light for our VI-Guests...

Basement Reno | prepping to paint...

With the VI-Guests arriving in just over 2 weeks, it is time to get the Basement Reno finished! We are prepping to paint...

Priming the dry-wall

Painters Cork in the gaps

Corking the holes in the old steps

Bringing the previously unfinished together with the old finished parts

Stay-tuned... with any luck, some rapid progress will take place...
