Basement is Nearly Finished

I had a day to work from home on my current project, and I actually worked a day in the basement for the first time! Granted, it was at our old kitchen table which is down there now, and not in my new office (the desk is still in the master bedroom), but the basement is pretty much usable now. Here's what's missing, in no particular order:

• Door knobs
• Lots of light bulbs, though I had one over the table to use (!)
• Toilet
• Bathroom vanity
• Network hookup (I had a great connection to my wireless router a couple floors up, though)
• Cable hookup
• Phone hookup (again--wireless to the rescue!)
• Wet bar (water lines and drain line are in place--no sink or counter, yet)
• Blinds (only need one for the office and one for the door--no other windows down there, thus the need for all those light bulbs!)

Let's see...that's about it for this phase. Later we'll convert the room Melissa calls the "Playroom" into what I call the "Theater". Much later, though...need to have kids which won't destroy the expensive electronics I'm planning for that room. In the meantime we may install a disco ball, just for fun! Must post pictures someday...I'm bad about that, even though my initial purpose for starting this blog was to "see how Picasa and Hello interact". I haven't used "Hello" for some time, especially since Blogger made it so easy to upload pictures directly to the blog. Happy 2008!
