At the end of the day on Friday, below is a list of things we will be able to do in our basement that we weren’t able to do at the beginning of the day.

I know you must be rubbing your eyes, double-checking that you are at the right website and saying to yourself, “Who is this writing on the main blog page, why isn’t he funny, witty or talking about kids and where are the parentheses?” We’ll, it’s only for a quick update, so here’s the list: 

• Walk without shoes on, for the carpet, indeed, was installed, does not smell like smoke and feels quite soft under our feet.
• Go in our newly finished bathroom.
• Wash our hands after going to the bathroom (not sure on what to dry them, though, as towel racks still need to go up).
• Take a shower, if we decide to clean it out.
• Get a drink of water from our bar sink.
• Grab a cold one from the bar fridge.
• Heat up frozen dinners in the bar microwave.
• Sit (on the ground) in front of our new fireplace with a cold one and eat dinner.

Actually, I know the last one won’t happen. Who really thinks Laura will let me eat anywhere near the new carpet until after we’re done hosting Christmas Eve?

Also, just a quick plug that you can now post comments on the “Matt Weighs In” page, so start ripping away.
