Basement Project - Week 2

Making big progress now. I have slacked on getting this updated, mainly cause I lost my camera for about a week. Found it though (unfortunately, cause it suxs) and have taken some new pics. One of the big things that was done was installing the 3-sided fireplace. They couldn't get in the basement cause of the small area at the bottom of the stairs. So they had to tear down the wall. Now ordinarily this would be a problem, but we had already planned on opening up the left side of the stairwell. So it just got done a little sooner than expected. The plumbing lines have been run, electrical has been started, and framing is basically done except for some smaller things. They ran all of my speaker, coax, and cat5 wiring into a nice Levetron AV box. Here are the pics


Here is the opening that was made so when you walk down the stairs, it opens to the basement.


Here is the 3-sided fireplace. Covered to protect it but it looks frickin great!


Looking down at the bar, there will be a pool table in this view when everything is done.

This is looking at the bathroom. There will be a plasma on the wall where the orange tube is so that you can swing it towards the lounge area or the pool table.
This is looking towards the media room and bar.

Here is the raised floor for the media room

Here is my Low voltage wiring panel and my Electrical Sub panel
This is where all the speaker cables go to and my smurf tubes for running future wires to the tv's. All the AV components will be here.
