  • 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.
