as you can clearly see things are progressing in the basement. the trim is on and will be stained tomorrow and the painter comes monday. i think once the walls are painted it will really start looking like a finished basement. for those keeping score at home here's the finalist among the paint, carpet, and stain contenders.
we are going with sherwin williams "grassland" #sw6163 (eggshell) for the paint, burnished walnut sw 3119-k for the stain, and vrooman, 151 (f) oak for the carpet color.
yes, there have been other things going on in my life besides "project basement finish" but nothing particularly blogworthy. still in full-on soccer mode but getting a bit of a break next week as the wife and kids take a week off and go to the cabin in michigan next week. i'll man the home front and manage the household, work, and make last minute decisions on the basement.
more soon...

This process is like watching paint dry.
That wasn't this anonymous that said that! Personally I'm enjoying every stage! -m
Wow, now the basement is really taking shape! The oak rail looks sturdy. I want to come over and swing from it.
It's not oak, it's pine.
I would need to see it up close, but from the picture the grain looks like Douglas Fir.
Maybe he widdled it out of basswood with his pocket knife?
Regardless, I still want to swing from it.
There are no workers in the picture??? Maybe they are upstairs in the "drawer"????
