More Drywall

I finally have all of the rooms isolated, and the furnace completely enclosed.  Here is a shot of the hallway facing the theater door.
On closer inspection that door is about 1/4" low on the right side, so I'll have to pull it out and re-hang it, so I didn't do the drywall over and around it.
These pictures are standing in front of the theater door, looking down the hallway towards the last office.

And here is a reverse angle shot:
I'll work on re-hanging the theater door this week, and I'll do the last bit of drywall around the door.  I also have to get some more 2x4's so that I can add some drywall support framing around the storage area under the stairs so that I can finish the drywall there as well.

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.

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.

Patio Demo

Wanted to get a good exposure to the foundation so I could verify the seal (think I found a leak in the planter box where the foundation meets), so I decided to tackle getting the rear concrete pad broken up.  Quotes to do the job were in the $5k range, so I decided I'd break it up and move it myself.  Removal then is only $650. Rented a breaker from HomeDepot.  Took about 6-7hrs of work, and a lot of Ibuprofin.  Went from this: To this: I am planning on taking at least a week of picking at it to move everything.
