Pictures from Ian and Kat's Digital Camera: The basement
[Up to Renovations ]

Here are pictures of our house in Toronto, taken at various stages.

These are various renovations we did around the house.

When we bought the house, the basement was described as "partly finished". Normally, that means that part of it is finished, and part isn't. But not here. In our basement, all of it was partially finished. There was drywall up everywhere, but just a painted concrete floor, and an unfinished rough-in bathroom (plumbing, but no tile or fixtures).
