Wow. I’m really not even sure where to start considering my last post was made in July.
In short, we now have a just-about-fully-functioning, non-scary, finished basement… but naturally, there’s always more to do. This is going to be a pretty lame post as I do not have the energy to upload photos, but I am happy to share that I just set up a IFTTT recipe to auto-post Instagram photos here whenever I tag them with #hellohilltop. I have absolutely no idea why I didn’t do this from the beginning, but better late than never, right? …right?
Still left to do (in no particular order):
- Install carpet in the entryway, stairs, and basement bedroom
- Buy/install final trim piece running along top of basement stairway wall
- Paint basement bathroom with a semi-gloss paint
- Paint basement bathroom baseboards
- Finish caulking the new bathroom shower
- Buy/install tower bars and medicine cabinet
- Buy/install a new toilet seat (so fancy)
- Repair the shaky toilet flushing handle
- Additional coats of paint and general touchups on entry, stairwell, and basement walls
- Install shelves in linen closet
- Install some type of flooring in the semi-scary, unfinished storage/laundry room
- Paint primed exterior trim
Photos to come, but really: It’s so much better now.
