getting something done

Here we are working toward finishing the basement so that we have a temporary place to live while we work on the rest of the house. The original plan was to start from the top and work our way down, but things change. In fact, it seems that most of the time for us, things just do not go as planned. Why do we plan? If our 'town house' should sell anytime soon or even this winter, we hope to have this ready or close to ready so we have a place to 'BE'. There are three bedrooms, though we are not bothering with closets since they are temporary bedrooms. Later, they will be two guest rooms and a storage room. There will be a fairly large bathroom w/laundry. Then the rest of the space is open living area and we will have a decent little 'kitchen' in the middle. There will be a ground level door and possibly some more windows so it will be nice and bright down there..........who knows how long we will 'BE' down there.............
You can see that the old stairs are lying on their side now waiting to be removed from the basement. One picture is a look down the hallway to my 'kitchen'. It's shaping up and it's kind of exciting.
The base cabinets were a workshop bench, but I thought I would just steal them, they are nice enough for this purpose.
