Over-budget and behind schedule

I have been making good progress, although I am not as far as I wish I was.  We have also exceeded our budget.  In the budget each category included about 150-$200 worth of misc. expenses to cover extra materials or things I didn't think of.  Well, that misc. category has gone way over budget in every facet of the construction and has eaten up all the savings.  I still think the entire project will come under budget because we will be getting our carpet at Menards and they are having a huge sale this week.

I am also not quite as far as I would like and I blame the weather.  I need to paint the trim and doors and rather than hand painting 3 doors and about 400 linear feet of trim I was going to spray it all.  Unfortunately it has been so cold and I need the temperature to be above 50 since I will be spraying in the garage (per the paint manufacturers recommendation.

Heres where were at:

The office floor is installed and all the electrical is finished.  The office is just waiting for the trim.  This picture shows the office "in progress":

The recroom subfloor is partially installed.  There are still some pieces that need to be anchored.  Unfortunately my hammer drill broke so that delayed progress. Thankfully it was still under warranty so a quick trip to Menards and it was replaced.

The walls are ready for paint.  They have been sanded and primed and then double-checked, resanded and re-primed.  Don't worry mom, this picture is actually alot safer than it appears to be.

The floors have been cleaned and the platon subfloor has been installed.

We purchased a couch from Ashley and my brother and I picked it up and brought it into the basement.  By the way, at the start of this remodel and installed a trailer hitch on Julies car and that has decision has paid for itself at least two times over.  Being able to pick-up the couch alone saved us about 70$ (after accounting for our own gas use)

When picking the paint we just when by some of those pre-done color brochures and then when one step lighter to account for the lack of natural light. The swatch on the right is the color from the brochure, on the left is one step lighter.  I'm really glad we took the extra time to paint the sample on the wall because I think it helped us make a better choice in regard to color.
