Change is coming

For those of you, not yet in the know, my little sister Tina is moving from sunny California. Where is so moving you ask? She is moving to NJ to live with me. We have been talking and planning for months now, and she has come to the decision that it would be a good idea for her to start fresh in a new place. For those of you lucky enough to have come and visited me here, you know I have no spare room in my home, so I have decided to build a spare room in the basement for her. Nothing fancy by any means, just cornering off a small area (14x14). I called my friend Mike after deciding what I wanted to do, and he came over to help me. He told me what he thought about my ideas, measured and gave me a rough estimate. Being that he is a friend, I got a fair price and quite the labor discount. He went to Home Depot and bought all the lumber he needed to begin the framing, which he completed the first 3 hours he was here. It was very excitng to watch. Brady was mesmerized and was never upstairs for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. He was such a good helper. Mike came back the next day with the sheetrock and completed that today, except for a few places. He did that in 6 hours. Tomorrow he will come to tape.
