Do you remember our nasty basement? The yucky, dark, moldy, smelly, duct taped window, illegal basement apartment? Well I am proud to say, (and even more proud of Bart for all his hard work) that the we now have a legal, beautiful, rented basement apartment. Yep, we finished up the odds and ends and found a tenant...all with a new baby. It was stressful for me-to list the apartment, answer the phone calls, set up appointments and show the apartment with little Dutch, but he was a trooper and of course Bart was a lifesaver.
The basement apartment is 1100 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, open concept kitchen, living and dining, plus a laundry room. Bart literally tore down the entire basement and rebuilt it with new plumbing, electrical, ceiling, drywall, etc.
A picture is worth a 1000 words, especially in the case of the basement. So I will leave you with the befores and afters. Please enjoy them with us. :)

Phew, I'm tired just looking through the pictures. I hope our renters like the apartment, they have no idea what it looked like just 1 year ago.

I had forgotten how bad it was too.
How fabulous it is now. The windows make the biggest difference. I love the light white kitchen.
I too hope your renters appreciate and take good care of it.
Loves,

Looks great! We need a few windows in our basement dug out and made bigger like some of yours!
WOW!!! Yes, the pictures speak for themselves. I'm sure your renters will like it. I hope you like your renters :)
You guys did an incredible job on the apartment. Plus you'll be the best landlords ever :)
You guys are awesome! What a gem that Bart is!! It looks outstanding. Congratulations on both the apartment and even more, that beautiful Dutch!!
I appreciate these pictures in a way that I think few other people do. A lot of long hours and staying home doing home improvements rather doing all the fun stuff that other couples seem to do on a Friday night. Looks terrific!
BEAUTIFUL!!! You guys are amazing. P.S. I have people who want to rent your basement in a year when they move down there...
You guys need a TV show! Fabulous job! :)
great job!! I love before and after pictures!! Your tenants will love it!!
If I was living near you, I'd be knocking down your door to rent the apartment. Looks fabulous!!!!
