Theater

Decided to setup a temporary theater in the basement.  This will allow me to experiment with layout and lighting solutions, and to enjoy part of the basement while I work on other parts of the house.  Going to get the projector later tonight.  For now it will just project onto the white back wall.  Here is what the room looked like before I started:

Here is what it looks like now.



 I painted the ductwork and the paneling with the dark green paint I had used on the ceiling.  It's a quick job, just one coat, lots of issues, but ok for temporary use.  All I need to do now is find a cheap couch and I'm all set.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath.  Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down.  Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad.  Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat.  Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish.  Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.
