A Door and a Wall for the Basement

A new door and wall

As part of the Basement Improvement Project, the goal was to wall-off an office area and make the main area a bit more pleasing for our soon to be home for Spring Break, son-away at college.  We took an odd shaped opening between the two areas and added a door and sheet rocked wall.

another job well done

Tomorrow's task is to "mud in" the sheet rock and get the walls ready to  paint.  While the mud is curing, we will re level the floor and seal the odd strip around the edges where a french drain system was installed a few years ago.

Another step closer to Stuart's Man Cave.  See start of the project here.

So far, we have spent

$770 Flor carpet
$40 paint
$40 miscellaneous bolts, glue, nails, floor leveler etc.  I'm not counting the door and sheet rock as we already had these on hand...

For a total of $850, so far...the rest of the spending will be furniture and a flat screen TV.
