Projects, Before & After

In our hurry to get Leon off to the Academy, we didn't get all of our projects done around here until after the boys and I got home, so here are some before and after pictures of some of the bigger projects we've been working on for the past.....while. :)

Leon made the benches himself!

Ugh...this was a big project. We've wanted to finish this room since we moved in, and we finally did get it done last fall, and then my cousin moved in. Leon finished this room himself...it all began with cutting into the foundation to make the window bigger. Remember that dusty mess?! Then framing in the furnace, which meant cutting a door in our laundry room for access to it instead. In the end, it came out to be a pretty nice sized room (espescially given that its in the basement of an almost 100 year old house)...and the closet is bigger than both of the upstairs bedroom ones combined!!!

Now, before anyone thinks that I did all of this handy, finishing work myself after we got home, I will admit, I did have some help, and here's proof: :)


Leon....are there any other projects that you didn't get to see finished that I have forgotten and didn't put pictures of on here???
