Temporary Lab

Now that I've done the most of the basement framing, I'm going to focus on the upstairs for a while.  Knowing that I wouldn't touch the basement for a while, I figured I'd make the office/lab/den/nerd-hole workable.  Put some Ikea legs on an old door, wired it up for cat5e, some lighting and shelving and we're all set.


Even with the rough framed walls this should tide me over for a while so that I can at least get some use out of the room while I work on the kitchen and laundry upstairs, which will take a while.

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.
