Basement Blog 4
Hello.
I have had my basement finished* now for about 2 months.
It is high time I show it off.
What follows are two videos that show off the two sides of the basement. They are similar to the way I shot the videos on basementblog3, when we just got drywall. This epic is also journaled in basementblog1 and basementblog2, which has a floorplan.
Here is the second picture, turning left from the bottom of the stairs. What is shown is the bathroom (notice granite vanity top and wainscoating) and the guest bedroom.
This is the entertainment center that is built-in to the wall.
I ran a power outlet in there, as well as cable and speakerwire for surround-sound. It also has a peice of conduit in there that is run through the walls to a panel in the wall, so that if I ever buy a flat screen TV, and want to mount it on the wall, i can pipe my A/V through there. dope.
* ie: liveable, safe for kids, Carpet laid, trim up, mostly painted, but still some odds-and-ends unfinished**
** such as the banster, some missing door knobs, some unpainted doors, etc***.
*** etc=et cetra

Here is the rec-room and ends at a double-door that goes into the mechanicals room.

Did you try to click on it to play it? It isn't a video.
As mentoned in the other blogs, there is a little bump-out in the foundation there, so I put it to use. I made it out of birch plywood from Home Depot and banded the edges with veneer. I'll paint it white to match the trim one of these days...I ran a power outlet in there, as well as cable and speakerwire for surround-sound.

That's it.
