This is what my basement looks like at the moment. As you might imagine, the rest of the house is beginning to look somewhat barren. I’m hoping to get a few more pieces of furniture down there in the next 24 hours, then I can start painting. (Presumably I’ll figure out what colors I want before I paint. At the moment I’m thinking “duct tape gray”.) The flooring materials are due to arrive on Thursday with installation commencing the following Wednesday.

And while the basement is filling up, this is probably the most organized my desk has been ever since the day Uncle Dick and I set it up.
