day 8

today the stain was applied to the woodwork and doors. as you can see, it's got sort of a burnished walnut look. i spoke to the painter today and he will be applying the paint to the walls and ceiling tomorrow (two coats). the next time you see the basment it should be grassland green. i also learned that the carpet could will be laid as early as wednesday thursday. assuming the final hardware and inspection are done soon after, we are talking a pretty darned close to finished basement by the weekend! yay!
