New Bike Room

Tearing down the old basement workshop so that I can finish it, and also tearing down the bike room.  I've moved the bikes themselves out into the basement landing room show here (still a big mess)

So that left enough room to redo the bike room as storage and bike tools.  I wanted to separate it from the bathroom on the other side, so I slapped up some scrap drywall.  Don't ever plan on finishing it, so the ridiculously bad drywall job is just fine.  This gives me a lot more storage space, which I'll need as the old storage workshop will be finished into a usable room.

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.

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.
