We have shifted gears on our house remodel. We were planning on starting at the top (attic - make it into a bedroom) and work our way down. However, we've decided to start with the basement.

Our basement is HUGE and has so much potential. In this big house, we, a family of 5, ave only one bathroom (EEEK) - in the basement there is a shower stall and a toilet so I guess maybe that counts ads a half? Regardless, it's just not nice down there. Since Zyon is no longer building guitars, we've decided we need to make use of the basement.

Not to mention that now that I am working full time from home, my kiddos need a place where they can play and have fun without stressing me out. I don't have an office - my desk is in the far corner of our living room and most of the time the kids are in the living room playing or watching tv. Not a great idea when I need to call a client or have to be on a conference call!

We're going to make the basement really nice. We'll mount a tv on the wall, get a nice little sound system going and probably buy a stereo cabinet as well. We figure this will work out well, especially as the kids get older and want to have friends over!
