On Monday and Tuesday night daddy got to putting Dricore into the basement. With an enormous amount of help from a neighbour down the street (and a bunch of his super useful tools), we changed the flooring in the basement from cold, damp concrete to dry, dehumidifying, floodproof Dricore. We lucked out in that the math worked out perfectly in a number of spots. Our sweat, hammering and tears turned our basement into something that mommy and the boys will be able to enjoy in the warm winter months.
There aren't any plans on drywall or proper flooring for a few more years, until the room becomes more of a hang-out than a play room.
Here are the shots of mid-way progress after 4 hours Monday night
and then the final product after 5 or so more on Tuesday night.
Big C chose to be a construction worker wearing a Wonder Pets cape...ummm, sure!
We split the older and younger kids up and decorated cupcakes.
This was a very popular activity!!!
We rounded the party out with some science magic tricks performed by Dave.
The boys had a fabulous time and their friends did too!
Here we are, we have been absolutely swamped lately! School, work, school...more school. Big C is struggling in school and day care...busy times. We'll try to be better about this blog, we will!!
