Vegas to home reno’s

It’s some what sad that my post’s have gone from cool trips to home reno’s but that’s how it goes when the funds are gone. This is however a part of working towards those kind of trips again.

Now that my backyard is destroyed I have naturally moved onto another project. I have been criticized for starting something and not finishing it the past and this time is no different. As I came to the realization that I do not know what to do with my backyard I moved on to finishing my basement. My first project is the stairs; this is one project I will see through. After that I’m going to contact Imperial Building & Roofing Co to get an estimate on refinishing the entire basement.

The cheapest solution would be to lay linoleum but seeing as flooring manufactures discontinue products every year I could not match what I had in the landing. So for 5x the price I decided to tile. Awesome. It will look sharp though I was concerned about the give in my old stairs so I first put down underlay to adsorb some of the movement and then re-enforced the risers and runners with screws. Now even Mike can not make them move.

Here are some before and after shots:
