Some before/after pictures of the basement

As you may or may not remember, we had a flood in our basement a week or so before Bailey was born. It was about 75% ruined, so we basically had to start over down there.

Luckily our homeowners insurance took care of the costs of replacing and repairing, so I spent a good part of my paternity leave fixing the basement back up (as opposed to paying someone to do it). It sucked and it was hard work, but it's worth it to save money and get it done the way you like it.

There is still a tiny bit of work to do, but for the most part it's all ready. I also just noticed that I'm missing some "before" pictures on my flickr site, so I'll have to see what I have at home and add some of those later.

Caiden's Room (for some reason I did not take any before pictures of his room, but it basically looked just like Bailey's)
