Drywall Going Up

Almost 100% of the drywall is up in the "Listening Room".  It will be setup as a stereo room, complete with isolated circuit with hospital grade outlet. To be honest, I don't really need it, but it makes for an attractive space which could enhance resale value.


The back wall will be a rock veneer, so it won't get drywall, instead it will get backer board, but I won't put that up till the mudding is done.  Have about 2 minor pieces left to finish up this room.

Also, since this includes drywall work in the basement bedroom, I needed to clean up the spare room and turn it into temporary storage so I have a place to keep all the stuff that will go into these rooms.

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.
