Sneaking in a last post

Is it still summer if I'm posting on this site? 

I'll let some photos tell the story. Our basement remodeling project is nearing its completion. The drywall installation and taping appears done. We're now moving into final carpentry. Sherry made an appointment today for carpet measurements.

In just a few weeks, Legos will populate this space.

Sump pump area and common wall. 

I'm eager for its completion. It's beginning to feel claustrophobic up here on the main floor where much of the basement's bounty has been relocated.
