Building my Basement
你好 (Hello) my name is Jason (child) and I will talk about how my basement got built.
First my dad made a design of how the basement would look like and how many rooms there would be.
It started out as a normal no-doors and walls basement. Then AJ started to build a 2 by 4 frame work. It looked like an outline of the walls which would locate the walls.
They started to put the walls up. I think they put the walls into the metal thing that the woods were in or they just nailed the walls to the frame work. My dad was in the basement when he had time. AJ needed to make a bathroom, a closet, a living room, a TV room and my play room.
He put the water proof wall in the bathroom. Then he made the tiles glued on the water proof wall. He installed the fan first, then shower, sink, and last the toilet.
He and his friends built my playroom after. They installed the vent, then the side wall in the closet, and finally added the glass mirror door.
They wrapped the living room pole. They installed the board to connect the ground and the wall to make the room beautiful. My family helped my dad stick the small mirrors on the wall. Then we put the Chinese traditional arts that were made from Chinese bamboos on the wall.
We ordered a pickup truck to bring the wine bar. Then they installed the wine bar that came in. They put all the parts in their position then started to build. They built the sink last that we bought it for him to install. Then mom and I bought glue that AJ needed to glue the pipes.
Later AJ installed a door over the electric wires to hide inside. They got another cabinet to put in the hole of the wall. They finally installed the lights in the cabinet and installed the glass doors.
I wanted to mention that how we selected colors. My mom borrowed books from library.
We looked at the model rooms. We compared the colors and the feelings. We went to Home-depot to see more samples. Finally we decided to choose the warm colors since they were for the basement and basement usually had dim light, so we needed the warm colors to cheer up.
We had left-over color for my room last summer which was blue, so my dad suggested AJ use it to paint the play room.
That’s how my basement got built.
谢谢 (Thank You)
