Basement Project - Day 2

Well the second day of construction has come and gone. It's now actually starting to take some shape. That's good because I was getting real tired of just looking at concrete all the time. The dogs really hate the construction and can't quite figure out what the hell is going on. I'm sure the contractors are getting tired of the barking every time they fire the nail gun.

Hmmm...maybe they will let me fire the nail gun!! I might just have to ask them if I can. Then I would feel like I helped build the basement, heck I could even tell people that I BUILT the basement. Okay that wouldn't be right, but I could at least say I helped, sort of.

Well they started framing the bathroom and the media room. Once I saw the frame for the bathroom, I noticed that where the vanity was supposed to go was a little small. So we are going to have to move the location to a different wall. This will actually work out better though and give people some more room to wash their hands and get ready. Otherwise we might have had some nice holes in the wall from peoples elbows.

Well here are some pictures of the basement so you can get a good before look at it.


Bathroom - that little wall in the right corner is where the vanity was supposed to go but now it will be on the wall that hasn't been built yet in front.


Media Room - This will have an arched half wall on this side and the wall when you first walk into the room. This will allow people to see the tv from the bar.


Bedroom - Will have glassed french doors so that the light will be able to come in from the window.


Bar - Its hard to picture but this is where there will be a U-shaped bar.

Well that at least gives you an idea. I'll take better pics when the frames are all in.
