If you've been thinking about remodeling your basement, this is worth a look.

Country Creek Builders finished this Shakopee basement remodel project and put together a video walkthrough of the whole thing — theater room with a star ceiling and 102-inch projection screen, workout room, tiled shower, the works. It's really good work.

What sets them apart is they give you a detailed design with actual renderings before anything gets built, a firm estimate so the price doesn't change on you, and a scheduling app so you always know who's showing up and when. They did this basement start to finish in 12 weeks.

Give this basement remodel video a watch to see their work.

🐣 Easter Egg Hunts Are Here

We tracked down 14 egg hunts across 8 south metro cities so you don't have to.

We're talking 17,000+ eggs at one event, a nighttime flashlight hunt for tweens, baby goats (yes, real ones), an egg hunt at a water park, and a week-long golden egg scavenger hunt through city parks.

Most of them are completely free.

We’ll keep updating it as we get closer, but we wanted you to get this on your radar.

South Metro Scoop is 100% free and it's just me running the whole thing. Your support helps keep the newsletter going, the community growing, and more good stuff coming your way.
