Progress! 5 months ago

Well, the ceiling tiles have been removed (apparently the guy who owned the house before us hid some pretty weird stuff up there…insect repellant?).

We have also patched the foundation, so hopefully it won’t leak any more. Oh, and we are only going to have to put studs on a portion of a wall because the rest of the basement is in pretty good shape that way.

If you need help on what to do next just give me an email. My basement is 90% complete with a theater room and I love it. My brother and I did it.

The Time is Now! 6 months ago

So our foundation has sprung a leak (all over my berber carpet), so what better time to de-70’s my wood panelled basement?!

Things to remove:

- wood panelling
- ceiling tiles

Things to add:

- stud walls
- insulation
- dry wall
- new ceiling tiles
- pot lights
- rough in bathroom
- paint

YIKES! This may take a while…..

Loft-y ideas... 6 months ago

I came across this site which had some rather clever loft ideas and given the relatively small area I have to work with, might be a good solution for the multi-uses I need.

Basically, there’s enough height for me to move my storage under a lofted platform while keeping my desk and office space above.

It’s worth thinking about…
