Our basement...

Hello all...Just wanted to share our basment that is currently under construction...Well it all began in June of this year...We had a partial basment that was unfinished...Our house was a cottage at one time and was only about 700 square feet ...15 years ago they added an addition and basment ..So there was a crawl space under the back end of the house..Soooooooo..My constuction husband decided to dig out the crawl space and add a full walkout basement..Well it was quite and undertaking and experience and let me tell you a few sleepless nights...When they dug they hit a main water source and it was a little scary for a few days with our house up on (I call stilts) and the ground eroding underneath...Yes scary..But now its all done and all went well...Needless to say...So now it is strapping it out and building interior walls ..We hope to have a sort of utility room for freezers washer dryer etc...A spare bedroom for when we have company..(well needed)..A bathroom, and family room..And the old existing part is going to be a MUDROOM..Well needed in this house for boots and snowmobile suits and ETC.......And the furnace room for storage wood etc..So yes it is adding alot of extra space..I am REALLY excited for the extra space...So my hubby has been working on it all week...He is very determined when he puts his mind to somethingand we might even be using it before this winter is over...Now that is exciting....Well I posted a few pictures of when it was being dug out his past summer and the current pictures of the work right now...Have a wonderful day and weekend.....Till next time...
