A little over a year ago we finished our basement. We had originally hoped that Kosei, our Japanese exchange student would have been able to stay down there, but the time schedule for construction is always underestimated. Britton and I have had various people stay with us since then in the basement bedroom, and since the last roommate just moved out, it made me think about all the work and money we put into it. It was definitely worth it, but it’s good to look back and remember.

Also, some people still haven’t seen it since it was finished (including Kosei, this one’s for you 🙂 !) We are planning on renting out this house when we move to Puerto Rico, but we are enjoying it while we are here. Also, maybe this will be motivation for Britton to finish the rental house basement *hint, hint*
