Deja Vu: Basement Progress

Progress is slow on the basement.  It is hard to work up the motivation when we have already done things once.  :p

But, we have done one or two things downstairs.  We were able to save quite a bit of the flooring in the laundry room.  We treated them with some anti mold stuff (though there wasn't any on them) and then were ready to put them down.  But we had to figure out the pattern first.  The pieces can't be cut shorter than x and the seams have to be x apart and you want to stagger the seams, etc....  We wished we would have written numbers on the back when we took them up.... 

Eventually we figured it out, and were ready to move onto the next step.

First you lay down the underlayment and tape the seams.

Then you start laying the pieces in, and snapping the seams together.

That weekend, Nana and Pop happened to be in town.  They helped take care of the kids....

...As well as help down in the basement.

It made the work much more pleasant!

We need to put baseboards down now, and then the laundry room will be done.  Or, RE done.  Then we can move all the stuff that is currently in the basement into the laundry room.  After that, we'll need to re-install the baseboards around the rest of the basement that gets carpet, and have the carpet installed.  Then we can move back in!  Phew!  One step at a time!
