Basement "Complete"

I put the word complete in quotation marks on purpose.

On Friday, we signed off on the punchlist, even though there were a couple of items not yet complete.  The mirror they brought in was too wide, so they're gong to bring in one that's the right size in a couple of days.  There's a bit of a hole around the dryer vent still, but there are plans in place to fix that.  And while we were signing off upstairs, the guy that put stain and clear coat on the handrails dinged a couple of places on the ceiling.  Of course, he didn't SAY anything.  Instead, he quickly cleaned up the paint chips that landed on the floor.

As we've used the basement, we found a leak under the bathroom sink.  We also found that a couple of switches on one particular lighting circuit trip the breaker if you flip the switch.  Hopefully, that's not a major problem.

But the good news is that we don't have to leave our basement window open so that workers can show up.  We are starting to feel like our home is OURS again.

In the meantime, I hung the projector from the ceiling and I hooked up the receiver and DVD player.  Pulling the cables for the projector was difficult.  Next time, I'm going to buy some lubricant that they make, just for that purpose.

We also scrubbed the vinyl and tile floors and I put up all of the miniblinds.  Then we got the table tennis table out and started to play!

It's going to be a REALLY fun space.  I'll be glad when it's complete, and not "complete."
