Workshop Removed

Needed to get the old workshop cleaned out with the eventual plan to finish the space. This will bring the total square footage of the house to about 3,000. Here is what it looked like before:

And now

I've set it up temporarily as an audio room, but this is mainly just to have a place to put the speakers and other stuff to get them out of the way. Plan is to leave it as is while I finish the upstairs.

This is also an exercise to force me to use the garage as the shop, rather than the basement. Goal is to see how workable that is. This also gets all of the "dirty" stuff out of the house and into the garage where it belongs.

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.
