So far today I have been cleaning and cleaning. I also taped the carpet on the basement stairs prepping for paint next week. My goal is to get the house cleaned up and organized this weekend so next week it will be easier on me while I am painting the trim and doors in the basement as well as 2 pieces of furniture that are also in the basement. I had planned to do the basement last but right now there is not much I can do any place else due to all of my holiday decor and I really need something to keep me busy while Ed is traveling so much. Plus the basement is so dark and I think painting the doors and trim bright white will help lighten it up down there. I know we need better lighting as well but that just isn't in the budget right now. The thing about the basement that bothers me most is the spiders but the exterminator was here yesterday so maybe it won't be too bad. I have gotten better at squashing the darn things but I still can't squash the big ones. Ugh. I can't stand those creepy crawlers! I am hoping that once I paint the trim and Ed caulks it they won't be such a problem. Ick.
Here is the basement in it's current condition, mess and all.
I need to decide what color to paint the basement walls because the current color just isn't working. I am going to stop by Lowe's this weekend and get a couple sample colors and paint them in different areas of the basement so I can hopefully make a decision soon. I also plan to work on a Halloween countdown, a Christmas countdown and a PB knockoff next week. Yep. I will be a busy bee!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Chris
