AutoCad is the way to go with any type of project. I'm glad that you gave the couches to students. Sometimes it can be hard to decorate on a student budget but the couches you don't want could come in handy to someone who doesn't have the budget that you do.<br /><br /><a href="https://lbplumbingheatingln.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/a-guide-to-reducing-your-boiler-installation-costs/" rel="nofollow">Wilfred Andrews @ LB Plumbing and Heating</a>Wilfred Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748478781385142557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-68903547531277726762016-02-10T09:32:29.503-05:002016-02-10T09:32:29.503-05:00Thanks, Traci!

It has nice ceiling height, loads of room and we planned it all out with our builder to give us huge windows to let in natural light.<br /><br />I love being able to share our progress on the basement. It's been a long haul but it will be worth it. Already we're using the basement daily and love the fact that we have another spot in the house to hang out with each other (or alone!). I'll be posting my next blog post on the basement flooring probably next week. I love the flooring we picked!

When you said 'basement', I imagined something really grotty, but actually I was pleasant;y surprised by your photos of The Den before you started work. I hope all your hard graft pays off and don't forget to post those final photos!<br /><br /><a href="https://harrisplumbing.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/frozen-pipes-and-other-plumbing-disasters-call-an-emergency-plumber/" rel="nofollow">Traci Romero @ Harris Plumbing</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457730235384800396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-90994752753222746612016-01-21T15:38:00.054-05:002016-01-21T15:38:00.054-05:00Hi Geraldine,

Wow, you do a lot of product reviews on your blog! I've done a few in between my regular book reviews/recipes etc. They are fun to do if you can find the right product. Daily I get requests but often they're just not something I'd want to review. :)Laurie@The Baking Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678146631438774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-74986118348504087192016-01-21T12:41:39.701-05:002016-01-21T12:41:39.701-05:00Looks like a lot of work, but probably will be wor...Looks like a lot of work, but probably will be worth it, when all is completed. <br /><br />Stopping in via Amazon.ca, love your blog.<br /><br /> I am also a Top Reviewer over there (#272) as of this morning.<br /><br />I also host a review blog, hope you'll stop by too.<br /><br />Happy Thursday, GeraldineGeraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-53278788996251951532016-01-19T11:45:27.477-05:002016-01-19T11:45:27.477-05:00Thanks Janine.

I have to admit that we ate a fair bit of delivery pizza on those busy reno days. We have a great pizza place in town but after awhile even the kids were tired of 'zza.<br /><br />As for bookshelves? Oh yes, there will be loads! I have six feet of bookshelves and cabinets on both sides of the tv/fireplace. They already have loads of books on them. I've had to weed out (and donate) quite a few books so far because I keep getting books from publishers. Bookshelves were a must for our basement plan. :)Laurie@The Baking Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678146631438774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-9534560731500022122016-01-19T05:56:21.951-05:002016-01-19T05:56:21.951-05:00Laurie, it will be like watching My Dream Home or ...Laurie, it will be like watching My Dream Home or Love it or List it!! Good luck with your renos, as hard as it has is, you get that real feeling of satisfaction when it's done. Tip: make sure you have the slow cooker on in the morning with dinner ready for when you are finished a hard days work, then your dinner is ready for you after having a shower and getting changed into the PJ's!! Comfort food is the order of the day. Will there be bookshelves in your plan too? Cheers from Melbourne, I will watch with interest ����Janine Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661767812827454045noreply@blogger.com
