I framed and drywalled and mudded the bedroom. Framed the rest out, built a landing and a bench/tv stand to keep access to our water main open. Hired someone to hang and mud the rest. Hired out the egress window install too.
It was drip tile ceiling and wood paneling before, now it's a great space for the kids and spare bedroom for my mom when she visits.
Going to buy a OLED TV and eventually add one of the new Xboxes.

I've also seen it done in bar environments (both black and white) and I really like the results. I'm also pretty into sterile/white walls etc. Looks industrial and brings visual appeal with the shapes popping out subtly.

That looks like great space. Spring will show you how dry it is down there. Any plans for it?[user not found] wrote:I like my sterile basement - did white shelves, white appliances, white walls. I just want to level out the floor and do a grey epoxy coat.

Yeah dude, I'm:jelly: . We finished the behzment at our place and I have nowhere to do shit. Keeping it open and clutter free is 5/7[user not found] wrote:Plans?
Leave it empty and open. I have no intent to finish it or close it off, or pack it full of shit like my dad. I'm working on cleaning it up slowly, lots of cobwebs, dust, dirt, and debris. I've got an entire back crawlspace full of creepy crawlies and junk that I've yet to clean out.
I do want to fix the corner workbench, too, and give myself a small basement workspace.
It should prove to be fairly dry - basement was waterproofed and there's 2 sump pumps, and I'm at the top of a hill. Only thing I really need to do is fix some of the grading surrounding the house so that the water drains away from the foundation.

Just spray. Those little creepy crawlers wouldn't know what hit them.wap wrote:What did you do about the decades of dust, grime, and spider webs that were undoubtedly up there though? Did you attempt any cleaning before painting?

updates on the kitchen train-wreck?Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:00 pm Well, managed a win. Went to Lowe's to get some electrical stuff I needed, and we walked down the tile isle. She found a porcelain hexagon tile that she LOVES...and it's on sale right now for $7/sq ft.
Bought one sheet so she could see it at home, we both like it so I'm going to buy the rest tomorrow. Amazing that worked out.
Still gotta do open shelving, doe...but again I'll keep it cheap. She also wants a wood wall on the other side of the kitchen in the breakfast nook...I'll tackle that once the rest is done...which is hopefully after she lost interest in the idea.

Duct is run in ceiling, ceiling is done, patched and painted. Back splash is up and grouted as of last night. Paint tonight and the hood goes up tomorrow.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2018 2:30 pmupdates on the kitchen train-wreck?Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:00 pm Well, managed a win.

Then this weekend we buy the wood for the shelves. I've given up the fight, it is what it is. She's convinced it's going to be amazing.

whatever.
Some fights are worth fighting. Others aren't. At this point, I've decided to force her to live with her decision good or bad. I'm not going back. She'll realize the error of her ways. I'll eat off paper plates.

Impossible. The hood is bigger, and I tiled up the wall to meet it.

I'm sick of this project, and I don't want to redo it. Forcing her to live with this error will have far more impact than fixing it for her.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2018 9:51 pmYou have failed in your mission to make this backwards compatible
