I never thought the day would come...

I think I started the project of finishing the basement over two years ago. It was finally finished about a week ago. We had help from a variety of friends and family along the way, plus a couple contractors. We're very pleased with the results and we finally have a place to store all the kids' stuff. I believe we're still going to put our house up for sale this fall, though. Even with a great play room, we're still lacking bedrooms that make sense for our phase of life. It's still plenty livable if we don't sell right away, but I'm sure there are plenty of houses out there that would suit our needs a little better.

Here's a mini virtual tour of the "new" basement:

This is a little out of order, but here are some pictures from the State Fair a couple weeks ago:
