Basement

Today, my dad, sister, brother and I started cleaning out the basement. That moves me one step closer to having my own room. How our house is built, the basement has two garage spaces, and then an apartment. I get the the apartment, or, at least part of it. At one time, the apartment was partially finished, but that was a while ago. In the last, ah, fifteen years or so, it has become storage, filling up with boxes and old furniture. Right now, my sister and I share a room. But we are completely different (aren't most sisters?). Rachel is very messy, and I like clean. Rachel leaves piles all over, I put everything away. So, now that the basement is cleaned out, or almost cleaned out, we can start working. The bedroom of the apartment is still storage, and will be for awhile, so we will be finishing the "living room". It has to be rewired, heating put in, new windows (or a door. I don't remember what Grandpa said), insulated, new flooring, and the bathroom redone. A lot of work, but my grandpa built houses and my dad helped, so they know what to do and I am learning. I will keep you posted on how this goes.
