I hope this counts as a craft… because I put a lot of hours and sweat into it lol
Long story short, we fired our contractor and I took over.
I found a great channel called “Home Renovision DIY” on YouTube, and I’ve been watching it for tips on sanding, drywall mudding, painting, etc. The channel guy is from Ottawa, where I used to live, and it’s nice to watch a Canadian channel from my province because usually the products he mentions are available where I live.
Anyway, I sanded all these walls, primed them, and put 2-3 coats of paint on all of them. Lots to do still, but it’s coming along.
It’s a really weird basement because it’s only 7 feet tall, but the venting in some areas (where you see all the angles) makes it less than 6 feet in some places… My poor 6’3" husband has smacked his head on that curved bulkead so many times…
I vote it 100% counts! And I applaud you for the dedication to in progress pics! We sold our house and bought a ‘new’ to us house in November and it’s been nothing but renovation projects since.
