So we have lived in our house for almost 3 years (it'll be 3 years June 23rd) and when we moved in our basement was finished but only half of it was really finished. It's carpeted and paneled with tons of shelves and cupboards. We use it as a playroom. The other half was "half done"....it had the drop down ceiling but was not paneled and had the worlds ugliest linoleum on the floor......it also had a small swimming pool in it!!! :blink: We had a interior french drain put in (to the tune of $6000 grand :glare
and bye bye pool....but we just never did anything else with it.....until now....with the new baby coming we need another room.
So we decided to finish the 2nd half of the basement and convert it into the girls room (they are 11 & 7 and are THRILLED!!). So this whole weekend was spent working.....late Friday night Dh was ripping down the old drop ceiling to replace it with new tiles and a mouse fell and hit him in the face *giggle* he freaks for a second then realize it's like old and shriveled and dead and chucks it in the garbage bag.
Saturday, we are both down there and we are putting up panel and whatnot and as I bend down to get more nails what the heck is laying there...but that darn dead mouse...I freak a bit (OK a lot) and let loose with a string of curse words that would probably make a sailor blush....little poop :glare: Again he chucks it into the nearest garbage bag
I just went down to the laundry room (which just happens to be off the basement) and I see what I think it "lint" on the floor from where DH has obviously dropped it when he got his clothes out of the dryer this morning, instead of turning to throw it in the garbage can 2 feet from himself. I start to bend down and whaddya know....it's the frick fracking MOUSE!!! :glare: Damn mouse!!!! :thumbdown:
Well just so you know....my whites aren't getting washed/dried/or put away today!!!!
