Before

Make sure to scroll down past the "before" shots to see the "after" shots. I uploaded them in reverse to help with the online blog "reveal" effect.

I had no idea it would be such a massive project. Took four adults working nearly non-stop for ten hours to empty the basement, another three hours for two adults to paint the walls, and over a week for one adult to burn all of the excess lumber that hadn't already rotted to dirt. Yes, rotted to dirt. Found some of that joy in the closet. And, all together now... eeeeeeewww.

second "room" = laundry
