hi Stephen, welcome back ! 

Awesome work ! Looking great, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I am so impressed with your talents and I can certainly understand how much time it takes when doing everything you are doing, by yourself. I was just noticing texture on the ceiling and walls, is this an addition to the paint or do you have to use a special technique to get this effect? I remember years ago, when my father was painting the walls, he used a paint that had a sand mixture in it and then he stippled the paint on the wall - very time consuming !

back in a min - I am multitasking and baking. 
ok, I am back. Time for morning break, I have Rice Krispie peanut butter with chocolate bars and hot chocolate. Kind of a midmorning energy snack. Enjoy ! 

oh my on the sump pump drama ! WOW !! water almost waist deep ? that is quite a bit of water, very lucky to get the pump working and good to hear you didn't lose anything due to water damage. A few years ago there was flooding in our area, and lots of people had water in their basements, where of course, they were storing things in cardboard boxes.  I think a good idea, if anyone stores items in the basement is to put them in the plastic storage containers, just in case.

Just think, if it had been colder, you could have had your own indoor ice skating rink !

Have a wonderful day !
