New Adventures at the House of Boda

Hello there one and all! We've had some things to do around our house and the most important as of late has been to attack the basement. Nick and Madison live there and haven't been able to reside in their rooms since the last freak blizzard the first of May. Thanks to a ton of snow and then rain, most of the town's basements flooded and some damage was done. 
Our goal is to remodel Nick's room first. Buster will build a new closet, enlarge the room itself, replace the ceiling, the walls, paint the cement floor, and then he'll have a new bed, rugs and so on. Phase One began today!
I wish I had a good photo of his room with all his furniture in it BEFORE the flooding/destruction and mess....oh well, trust me, it was a nice room (usually messy) and then it was a hot mess. LOL.


Here's what the basement looked like AFTER the flooding:


The carpet (which was new) was ripped up to avoid mold and smell. Now we have a beautiful (NOT) cement floor to look at. 

This was Nick's closet. It was sopping wet and is about to be demolished. He'll have a larger and dryer closet soon. Notice, the carpet was also ripped up here and throughout the entire basement.  

This was the small room Eden had when she came to live with us for a while. Now, it will be the new part of Nick's room where the new closet will be.  

Looking into Nick's flooded room from Eden's former room. 
Today, Buster and Nick were able to remove the rest of the ceiling, tear down the walls and frame one of the new walls. Tomorrow, I believe the goal is to get the new ceiling up. 


More updates to come when news develops! Thanks for checking in on us!
