Thanksgiving weekend meant I could move forward with the basement remodel. On Thursday morning I pulled down all the ceiling tiles and began to pull down the furring strips. This went rather quickly. On Friday morning, after hitting the big box home improvement sales for supplies to be delivered Saturday, I finished pulling down the furring strips and began to pull down the paneling. Saturday involved renting a large truck and filling it with the refuse that had been pulled down. Uncle B came to help, mainly to move the concrete sink into the truck. Uncle B, Thing One and the Gimlet then finished pulling down the paneling and removed the bar that was anchored to the floor in the rec room. Uncle B and I then took the refuse to the dump. We cleared out 60 lbs short of a ton — 1940 lbs. Now it’s time to rest up for the framing.
(Editor’s note: Since this post was written, the Gimlet has nearly finished remodeling the staircase and has begun framing! More details to follow as time permits.)
