HouseBlog, Act II
I threatened one day I might resurrect the HouseBlog when we finished the basement..well, it is well underway and moving fast, so I decided I better post something soon or else I’m just going to be posting the final “it’s done” pictures.
For a refresher.. a blog entry from last year showed the basement as we had had it framed out for what we wanted–extra bedroom, closed, full bath, utility/storage room, and large family/rec room.
The basement–circa January 2006.
Since then, we finalized on a builder to finish the basement and he started a week or so ago. The first phase has moved very quickly as framing only had a few items to clean up and with rough electrical taking only a day, it was time for insulation and drywall almost immediately. Here are a few pictures from the current progress–click on any image to see a larger version:
Insulation complete; drywall on the ceiling…straight ahead will be our “movie watching” wall!
More drywall; in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs that connects the various basement rooms the ceiling drops down due to HVAC ductwork.
The other end of the main family room/rec room area, with walkout doors on the left.
Hard to get a good picture of the extra bedroom, but it is basically completely drywalled now–closet at far end; entrance to full bath that separates it from the rec. room just out of frame on the right.
