Basement Reno, project 2: Tuesday, and drywalling is 90% complete. I just have to finish the ceiling in the stairwell, and that's going to be a nightmare.
The duct has been boxed in and drywalled:
It will look much better when the ceiling is installed.
I framed out a closet in room 1, big enough for a walk in, and wide enough for the larger Rubbermaid containers to fit width wise, so that will be a storage area for us, but the next owner could install some shelves if they wanted to.
The dreaded electrical panel... What to do with that? I decided that I couldn't leave it bare ( code says you have to protect the lumex wife somehow ) and because there is a ground rod on the floor, I should just enclose it behind a bifold door or something. So, I framed that out for a 36" bifold. We'll see how that turns out.
Also, ceilings are a pain to drywall, and they are even worse to mud and tape.
Speaking of which, that is going well. First coat and tape is almost completed. Finish that tomorrow and start sanding what we've completed thus far.
And finally, Habitat for Humanity's ReStore had flooring on sale this week, so we went and picked out flooring. 32 boxes of laminate for $217. We're going to try the multicoloured floor like Ellen has on her dance floor:
