Dudes!
So, I see folks talking about basements. We FINALLY are done with the basement...about eight weeks after a sewer main backup. Destruction, remediation, and rebuild. We were going to get it redone anyway, but this forced our hand. Aside from the cost, the biggest kick in the nuts was that what should have been a two week renovation became about six weeks. Put a serious cramp in our style. And the wife works from home...and paint fumes, loud mexican rap music and sledgehammering are not conducive to that.
