The finishing of a basement ...
Finally after 5 years we are finishing the basement. I will show the progress over the next couple of months with hopefully the grand opening sometime in April. The over all finished basement will be about 1400 sq ft. Step 1 [Complete] Layed out the basement design with blue tape so that I could get an idea of what it might really look like. Discussed the design with the general contractor and modified the plans several times. Finally the wood has been delivered and we are ready to go. Step 2 [Completed] Framing - Done Duct - Done Electrician - Done Plumber - Done Drywall - Done Painting - Done Carpet - Done Step 3 [In-Progress] I will update pictures as I get the basement put together.

Basic plans for finished basement . I hope this works. I have modified this several times. I used Microsoft Powerpoint to draw up the designs. It was pretty easy. |
My plans for the entertainment wall (Design for framers to build). |

The wood has been delivered. Lets get started. |
This will be the equipment closet. I plan on building a 9' x 7' CD/DVD wall unit inside to the left. All A/V equipment will be within this room behind lock and key. |
Inside the equipment closet. |
Equipment Closet. Still need to build the CD/DVD wall unit. Waiting on quotes. |
The equipment closet is empty, but I am ready to purchase the Outlaw 990/7500 combo. |
Still need to build the entertainment media cabinet inside the closet. |
This is the home theater area from the side. Lots of cold ahrd concrete. |
This is looking at the home theater area head on. The seating area is on the other side of the pole. |

Wet Bar area. The bathroom rough-in is being moved to the side of the stairs. |
Opening the stairwell really makes a big difference. |
Exercise room. Treadmill will be place in back right corner. |
Looking from the treadmill station to a future falt panel TV to keep us in the mood to exercise and keep in shape. (I hope) |
After watching things being added this doesn't look like progress because of the pile of concrete and dirt. |
The new bathroom rough-in. Wish we would of put more thought as to where the bathroom would go when we built the house 6 years ago. |
Wet bar rough-in. |
