Flooring...sort of

Was starting to work on the rest of the electrical in the basement this morning, and needed to remove the bamboo flooring I had pulled up in the kitchen to get it out of the way.  Realized that I should go ahead and lay it down as temporary flooring since it will be a while before I get real flooring in the basement.  Had more than I thought, and was able to fill the office, and the hallway.


 


It's only tapped into place, and a sloppy job at that.  Only wanted to get something down and get it out of the way.  Also went ahead and put one of the Ikea bookshelves back together as I'm rapidly running out of room upstairs.  Finished wiring all of the outlets in the office too, and added one recessed light.  Next I need to wire in the track lights int he office that are behind the duct work.

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.

Basement Bathroom Progress

 Just for reference, here is the original, claustrophobic, non-code-compliant basement bathroom. And here is progress on the much larger bathroom, even though to overall footprint is the same size. The shower has been expanded to fill the entire width, and the ceiling raised in the shower area.  The original was a generic shower stall, and was very dark and cramped.  This will be much brighter and while the dimensions are small, won't feel nearly as cramped.

Kitchen Progress

 Backsplash tile almost done, just need to install the outlets and faceplates.
