I can't wait to do laundry!

This basement laundry turned out a lot nicer than we planned, it has wonderful light and with a nice faux wood floor and Home Depot cabinets it looks awesome……and all the space. 

A pic of our current laundry room. This is part of the living room. Nice, huh

Amazing!

This is the basement entrance that has the cool-o dog wash, it's behind the half wall there on the left.

Beautiful Knotty Alder Doors

One of the times we were out at Hamilton Supply looking at windows we saw these rally pretty doors they had on display there that were made of knotty alder. Since we don't have a lot of doors on the new section of the house we decided to go with  these. We still haven't decided on a stain yet.

This is looking into the awesome mud room. Three closets to fill with our muddy boots and dog paraphernalia.

This is the Dutch door that goes into the mud room. When we have wet pups we can leave them in there till they dry off. The door on the left goes into the powered room. 

The giant chimney!

One of the things we liked so much about the design of this house is that it had a beautiful wood burning fireplace. I have to say it's quite a luxury as it's taken more hours, by Dan, Dale, and Craig, that I can count. He was one of the first on the job and will be here at the end as well. Good thing we like him and his work!

Here is a pic of the rocks laid out for easy selection.

Finally heading up the stairs. This makes it quite difficult for anyone else to work upstairs.

Dan the mason in action. Once these are set they'll come back and grout in between all the rocks. 

Rocks on the upper level for the upper part of the chimney.

Concrete Floor

Initially we were going to put down hardwood floor in the whole house but we to opted for a  poured concrete floor for durability and looks. Additionally, it's a great heat sink for our radiant flooring so we went for it.

 After it had cured for 28 days they started polishing the floor.

Expansion joints were cut shortly after the floor was pureed, this is to prevent stress cracks. It has been 2 months since the floor was poured and there is only one small crack. 

It's quite a messy job.
