Basement Finishing

This weekend we just started our long awaited basement finishing project. Thanks go out to Zach and Anne for coming down and showing us the way. I probably wouldn't have been able to put up a single wall in the time it took Zach and I to finish the framing!

We are putting in a bedroom, bathroom, storage room, living room, fireplace, and a wet bar. After this weekend our next step is to do plumbing, electrical, and heating.

I took a series of before and after photos if anyone is interested. I'll try to explain what you're looking at as I go.

I'll post more as progress is made.

Cabo Trip

Heather and I recently got the chance to visit Cabo with two other couples. Of course we couldn't help but jump at the chance. Better yet, we flew out on my golden birthday of March 29th. What a way to spend your birthday, wake up in 40 degree MN and by noon be in 80 degree Cabo.

We had a great time and wanted to share some photos.
