What's Eric's order of preference?

The ceilings first.  Egads man, who looks UP?  (Well, he IS the one who spends most of his time on his back!!!  LOLOL -- oh, he'll kill me for that one!)

We're just looking at doing a half-bath downstairs.  We've got a full bath and a master room half bath upstairs (weird design if you ask me) and a quarter bath in the basement.

Not having had gay sex I can only assume and what I understand of your relationship, but wouldn't he be, umm, generally speaking, looking at the floor? Or walls?

Anyway . . . .what are you considering for the ceilings?  Are you going to "Rip and Renew" for some additional "Architectual details*?"  Maybe some beamwork? (Which I love by the way).

Is your basement finshed? 

*If you get that reference your life is as sad as mine! 

Let's go point by point:

...but wouldn't he be, umm, generally speaking, looking at the floor? Or walls?

Just as in heterosexuality, there are a myriad of positions.  (I wonder if anyone's written the Kama Sutra of gay sex?)  Eric prefers to be face to face -- me, I likes 'em all!!!!

...what are you considering for the ceilings?  Are you going to "Rip and Renew" for some additional "Architectual details?"  Maybe some beamwork?

We're going to get rid of the tiling and probably dry-wall.  Simple and flat -- no fuss, no muss (well... plenty of muss, but that's only during the construction).  We don't have the room or height for beamwork -- this was a house constructed in the 1920's, VERY Deco.

Is your basement finshed? 

Partially finished.  There's a cement floor -- which is sad and the main room has posts and paneling.  Additonally, we have a utility room, a basement mud room, and two "tool" rooms (one I'd like to convert into a dungeon...lol... another gay joke) a quarter bath (off the utility room) and the garage.

*If you get that reference your life is as sad as mine! 

Hooray!  Something ELSE we have in common!

Really? Would you tell my wife . . . (kidding!)  (In my mind's quote library Ricky Bobby rears his ugly head again: "We invented the missionary position.  You're welcome.")

Sounds like a challenge!  Something to "do" when you leave the current job? (pun intended by the way)

Get some nice crown moldings and it'll look like a $1,000,000.  Will you guys do it yourselves or hire someone?

Is the floor at least level or would you need to repour (my friend had to do that it was total bitch).  If its level your life got so much easier!

Hooray!  Something ELSE we have in common!

My wife wants to turn that into a drinking game.  Every time the guy says "Architectural Detail" you take a drink.  She'd be toast by the first commercial.

... love his little build.

Exactly how I feel about you.  ;)

We already have crown moldings (all the original wood work in the house still exists and is in excellent shape).

We'll hire out.  Although we have a great handyman -- named "Cotton" of all things!
