No major differences over last week, but we got our final inspections done, the painter came for final touch-ups, and the laundry shelf got finished.

Week 11 saw the painting mostly finished up and electrical trim out on Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday and today the HVAC guys did their finishing work.

Here’s how things look now.

Basement project week 7 day 2: drywallers finished up by sanding, but absolutely no change can be seen in a photo.

Basement project week 7 day 1: second coat of mud, I think? Mudders were here but it doesn’t look much different.

With our basement work, we no longer need the plug-in dehumidifier we’ve had there. Incredibly, Georgia Power will pick up dehumidifiers for free which saves me all the headaches of trying to dispose of an appliance with coolant!

Drywall went up today, and while we were out of town trim went on the window exteriors and the stairs were re-worked.

This past week saw new windows, a whole house dehumidifier, floor leveling, and inspections.

I’m taking end-of-week photos of each room now instead of the whole basement.

Basement project week 4 day 3. Most visible change is the whole-house dehumidifier. Its position narrows the path to the crawl space but keeps the utility space open. They also worked on framing out around the windows.
