Great Gifts & Room Remodel [of sorts]

Posted on Monday 4 December 2006Monday 4 December 2006 by Joshua

Well, after a lot of vacuuming, I decided to tear out the carpeting. Once I did, I discovered the underside was all nasty and moldy. So it is all gone and now I have the concrete look. Here are some pictures…

The early morning of the flood… The drain is actually below the television, as I later discovered.

Chopping out the nasty, smelly, wet carpet. Even the area where I piled everything was wet… just not as wet.

I got it all set back up. I am just doing the urban loft look – concrete floors with area rugs and IKEA furniture – in a basement.

In other news, my good friend Dave Carey and his wife Liz decided to give me a HUGE amazing birthday present. Dave got the new Nikon D2xs digital camera and gave me his D70 with all the stuff – zoom lens, filters, backpack, remote. I am so excited! So Dave and Liz, you rock and I am so thankful for this awesome gift.

    Gah!

    *Hits head because he forgot Josh’s birthday again*

    Happy Birthday, Mr. December. That’s a nice gift indeed.

    I’m glad you got everything set up again. Even the rug is from IKEA! Almost bought that when I was at the Pittsburg store a couple weeks ago. The red one, right? Can’t beat that price.

    Uhm… when was your birthday, Mr.? Awesome gift and AWESOME room! Or Basement. I live in a basement, too but it’s not as cool. It’s new but all of my stuff is in boxes and I have no cool furniture… my room also doubles as my dads office. 🙂 I need to move closer. :-S

    So I just got on here to leave you a quote that I thought you’d enjoy, but then I read this entry. When and why did the basement flood? I’m disappointed I missed the “big happenings” at home. The room looks good, though. I have to say, I’m a little envious of the birthday gift. 🙂 Happy Birthday by the way. Anyway, for the quote. It came from a book of quotes I have.

    “The biggest liar in the world is ‘they say.'”

    That’s all. Have a great day.

    Scary how… scary because you saw it before, or scary because of the concept?
