  • Railing is done now...boy the stairs look like crap
  • If I'm going to redo the stairs, I may as well redo all the flooring in the basement
  • Been wanting to reno the bathroom downstairs, should probably do that before I do the floors
  • Will just do an econo bathroom as it's only a basement
  • I like that 6' long extra wide custom bathtub you have to speical order from BC
  • Ohhh, and that medicine cabinet is only available from Tennese? Okay.
  • Aaaaaand you need that vanity from New York to go with it
  • May as well get radiant floor heating
  • One piece toilets exist?! Okay, I'll take one of those
  • The old fireplace is going to look out of place since everything else will be new...let's tear down the old one and buy a new one with a new mantel, new rock, etc.
  • Guess we should get the painters in to paint the basement before the carpet comes
  • Screw it, new baseboards and door trim all around

Yeah, what started out as a $2,000 railing went completely insane. Spending $1500 randomly on a furnace so I'm comfy while I paint my baseboards and they dry nice is a drop in the bucket at this point haha.
