Que epic instrumental crescendo. The basement is finished. Remodeled, which is "remodel" with an "ed," meaning past tense. It's kaput, donezo, completed... I could keep going for a while because this is just momentous enough to be crazy excited.

It's been 14 months since we bought the house and started on the basement. The basement is pretty large; there's more square footage downstairs than upstairs because of the room underneath the garage. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a kitchen living room and a den. 

It was a big job for Hatch Construction, party of 1, also known as David. But he did it all himself except for laying the carpet and cutting the granite. And he did it through a combination of sheer tenacity, Youtube prowess, and natural skill. We just bought passes to the Canyons in Park City to celebrate his massive accomplishment by snowboarding this winter :)

Below are the final before and afters. If you want to see the other half of the basement click here. Or if you want a throwback to when we first started working on it, click here.

Besides building the closet itself, David also made built-in shelving to utilize all the space well.
