I has no idea that storage space was so huge or that it had a window! Was that to the left as you came downstairs, behind the TV wall?

In reply to Vanessa. Hey Vanessa! Yeah! Most of all we can't wait for the useable space - it will change how we live in this house!

Wow – it looks like a great start Scoops! It’s always fun to have dirty made clean again and get all that usable space to work with.

Fair Question. Our original budget was $40K, we had planned on being flexible up to $50. After talking to a few different contractors we realized to get everything we wanted we needed to go to the higher end of our budget – so that’s where we are sitting now, hopefully with minimal cost needing to be added to the bottom line. Our contractor gave us an itemized list that with a payment schedule – hopefully his thoroughness in his project overview will help keep our costs right where expected.

This may be too personal, but I would love it if you added the budget of the remodel to your posts. Helps others get a baseline idea of what similar work would cost.
