Basement BEFORE Pictures

We have officially started to embark on our remodel project.  The contractor showed up at 7:30am today.  We are starting with the basement, since some of the plumbing needs to be moved, re-routed, etc.  They started today by jack-hammering the cement floor, so the plumbing can moved into the bathroom location.  Chris went downstairs at 1:00pm to see the progress and they asked him if they woke him up.  He responded by saying, "he hasn't fallen asleep yet."  He said the jack-hammer was very loud.  He didn't hear them pulling down the walls from the storage closet, but he did hear the jack-hammer.  The plumber said that usually the cement in older houses can be easily impacted with a hammer, but our cement is rock solid, therefore it takes a long time to jack-hammer.

I am posting a bunch of "before" photos, so you have a good idea of what we had to start with.  In a couple weeks, we will be starting on the kitchen.  For now, we are ready for the basement remodel to begin!

    Are you adding rooms in the basement too?
    Family room etc? Or just the bathroom update?

    We will have a big open family room, bedroom, storage, bar area, and bathroom once we are finished.

    I didn't know you had a fireplace downstairs either. Where did all the basement stuff go?

    Yes, we have always had the fireplace. As far as the "stuff", some went into garage storage, some donated, some thrown, and some burned. We have been working on clearing it out over the last year or so.
