The time of ignoring the scary unfinished basement is over. We must move forward and continue with the elbow grease and DIY spirit. Because, who knows? Someone may just end up living there someday. And, what else are going to do on a dreary winter Sunday in Chicago? Of course...we're going to work in an unheated, dirty, scary basement.
So, the good news is that progress has been made. Demolition has taken place and old moldy drywall has been removed. New insulation has been added. Don't worry, y'all...we wore our respirator masks the whole time!
Welcome to our very own spider farm!
I think those are specks of dust, or possibly dirt, or maybe they're ghosts. Who knows.
Hello outside! See you in a few months when it warms up.
Creepy Room #1 - stripped down and ready for insulation
Insulated!
Creepy Room #2 - the storage room for 2 very large pieces of scrap metal. Kidding! They're espresso machines! Another storage room in our basement holds around 55 chairs, you know, for when Tom opens up his cafe. One can never be too prepared for the future. :)
Former visitors/residents/tenants that left their mark of love on our basement wall, alongside some gang graffiti, naturally. Wino + Candy = true love forever.
