As I've mentioned in a few various posts these past few weeks, that I've been planning a major renovation of the basement in our house. This is where my room is, and has been for the past 5+ years, and along with my new job I've decided that I want to heavily upgrade and make my living area much better! I really like it down here cause its cool and dark year round {my PC running 24/7 provides a good amount of heat when needed}, there are sliding glass doors to our back yard which makes it perfect for my dogs and overall its quiet...I really like it down here!
As I work to renovate my living space, I'll be posting many images of my progress {yes I'm doing this entirely myself, more fun that way and its far too expensive to have someone professional do it anyway...} and to get this started, here are several before images.
Do keep in mind that its normally not this trashed and messy, but for the past few weeks I've been going through everything, moving it around, deciding what to keep and what to throw out {which has been tons and tons of stuff...mostly other family members things they don't want}
Anyway, here are the {before} images: {Oh and I'll try to take images at the same location & angles so its easier to follow the progress!}
The door to the furnace room will be moved to this wall, next to the steps!
The wooden wall/gate I built years ago when I first adopted Khalus, and was used at first to teach her rules. Now its always open and yeah it's going to be removed entirely!
Yeah, I need to move my other PC before that shelf gives way...LOL
The short piece of wall from the modem hangin on the wall to the roll of cable, is being moved back...more space woohoo!
There was a door there, but I just removed it and its being moved to a new wall!
Inside the furnace room, where I'll be moving a wall back 2.5ft!
I'm installing an entirely new floor too, which is going to be 60% carpet & 40& Laminate Wood Here is the wood I just bought the other day. {$0.69sf, a total of 230sf} I'll be going to get a roll of carpet padding today, and the 400sf of carpet tomorrow:
