Emptying the Basement

I am thrilled and grumpy! We had a flood right before Christmas due to a sump pimp failing to turn on. It ruined a huge stretch of carpet so we had to contact our insurance company and file a claim. After an incredibly long time dealing with paperwork it gets fixed this week! We are having to do some heavy work though in the form of schlepping all the boxes and stuff upstairs. See, says Karl, it s a good thing I haven't unpacked yet! Sadly he's right'. The kids toys and all my craft/books have to be hauled or replaced into boxes, sigh, more boxes, and dumped into the living room. Happily we payed extra for the nice carpet crew to shift the furniture. I value my back e ought to refuse to pick that up. I am happy to report that Karl also has these three days off to actively participate in the great basement unload. I wish the carpet clearing will also clear up our allergies and sinus issues. Fingers crossed! I may do an air vent cleaning as well after this just to help out.
The first picture was taken Tuesday morning.
The second picture is our poor living room on Wednesday morning! The other one is the basement Wednesday morning. Long way to go, but it should be done by tonight so we can let the carpet guys haul the bookcases and desk away, then install in that lovely new carpet! Woohoo!

Naturally then the fun begins again. Dragging it all back to the basement and setting it all up again. Oh well. I get to plan out the space better this time!!
