I Guess We're Getting a New Basement

Plans for the basement were in the far away future. We don't need the space quite yet and haven't come up with exactly what we want to do. Words like bar, gym, theater, and play area have been thrown around.

We actually did decide to move my gym equipment down there. My bike was on the trainer on some gym flooring with a treadmill set to arrive and then the TRX would move.

All the plans changed as we got baptized into being cold weather people when a pipe froze and burst in our garage and the water somehow made its way into the basement.

I went down in the morning to use my trainer which I found on an island created by the rubber mats. Workout cancelled. Luckily we realized we had a floor before it was worse and were able to shut off the valve but we were still left with an inch of water all around our large basement.

Now we've dealt with water cleanup crews, insurance, and some very loud fans while the new treadmill got set up in the 2nd living room, which was also unused.

It looks like we are getting a new basement, much sooner than originally planned!

Winter Wonderland

One of the great things about the house is the view from our huge front window. We're set on a bit of hill far back from the street. We've only really seen winter so far here but it's been beautiful in the snow. It makes the whole dealing with snow situation that much nicer as we adjust to our first cold winter. We love to see the deer go by and even the occasional fox.
