Seriously, Jake has earned himself the husband of the year award, because it was not easy for him!
Handy-ness does not flow in the male Garlock family veins, so this task was accomplished through a lot of trial and error and the help of a lot of VERY kind family, friends, and neighbors. And chances are, if you are reading this, you probably helped out in some way. So, thank you! We are so grateful for all of our great friends and family for sacrificing tools and time and knowledge to help Jake out.
Here's some of the 'before' pics....
....and here's the after!
We just love having more space to live in, and would love to have any visitors come now that we have a place for you to stay.

Very impressive results! The lights even work! Well done, Jake! After you've been banished down there for 3 months, the kids can hang-out down there for years. Enjoy it!
