Open for Business

After a year of planning, working, planning, working, and being lazy in between, our basement project is finally finished! Six solid months of forcing ourselves to the grind every night after work. Countless trips to Home Depot. A few minor injuries. A lot of irritability and more than a few bad words. An emptied bank account. A lot of cleaning. And finally............joy!

So as of March 30th (2 days ahead of schedule) Hotel Peacock is open for business. It is fully furnished and we're workin' on the bare walls. We love it more each and every day. We'd love to share our new found joy with you! Please feel free to come visit and you will be rewarded with your own space, (bedroom, bathroom, exercise/play room, living room, theater room, and a couple storage rooms that won't bother you) away from our midnight squawkers and early morning talkers!

A few pictures taken right after the furniture arrived. (Not very representative, but you'll have to come visit if you want the full effect!)

Unfortunately, Byron didn't even let the dust settle or the paint dry before he began mapping plans for the next big project--the backyard. Wish us luck and feel free to use the paypal button to donate to our next cause- I'm broke! (Just kiddin'- though I might look into that paypal button!).

That is incredible that you guys did it yourself, I don't think I would have the know-how or patience!

WOW! Im impressed. It is super cute!!! I know the hard work that goes into stuff like that... we bought a "fixer upper" and basically gutted the entire thing. It was very rewarding, though. :) Good luck on the back yard!

Looks great! Can I hire you to come work on my house? We "finished" our basement two years ago and still haven't done the touch-up paint or installed a few fixtures here and there.

Wow! Looks awesome!! Maybe I'll rent it out while Jeremy is gone... It's probably more square footage than my house and definitely more clean. Just kidding I would never do that to you! Great job!
