Riverwalk House gets Remodeled
In part of the basement of our newly bought house were two bedrooms; one painted red and the other blue. The red bedroom was selected to become the computer room. Utahns seem to like starkly colored rooms, but these proved to be way too dark for a basement. So out with the paint bucket and a few days later, a much milder-painted computer room and a similarly lighter other bedroom. We also decided to bring an electrician in - one of Marolynn's nephews who ran a electrician business - and he was really good at what he did. He installed sunken lights in both bedrooms, the basement, and in the family-kitchen room upstairs.






Most homes in Utah have basements and many of them have a concrete cold storage room as part of the basement. Since we are storage freaks with 40 years of stuff, we bought and assembled shelving in the cold storage room and moved our Albuquerque refrigerator in there also as the sellers left a refrigerator in the kitchen upstairs. All kinds of things - food and other household goods are in the storage room. But we're certainly ready for more gardening and more canning this summer.
