Basement progress

We (well Steve) has now completed the insulation in the basement and has started on drywall. The drywall is complete in the bathroom (just need to tape and mud) and the landing/foyer is almost complete. We are planning on competely finishing the bathroom and then finishing the rest of the basement. This way Steve will have a place to clean up after working in the basement and won't track the mess through the rest of the house.

And the basement progress continues

We had our first inspection of the basement the other day and passed with no issues, YAY! We (well actually Steve with some help from our friend Nate) is now working on insulation, he really has gotten alot done in 2 days. All the insulation is complete except for the home theatre, once that is done it will be time for drywall. I will have to get some more pictures taken right before the drywall starts going up.

Basement progress

We are almost ready for our first inspection, YAY!!!!! All that's left is getting the recessed lighting cans wired and the bathroom fan/light wired and then we call the inspector. After the inspection it's on to drywall and all the finishing touches. After the drywall goes up it really shouldn't take us that long and the basement will be complete. My poor husband has been killing himself down there trying to get it done before our baby girl gets here, I really think he is stressing that he won't have it done by Feb. He would have been much farther along but when you are sent to London for 3 weeks it's kind of hard to work on your basement.

The home theatre, this view is from the foyer/landing area (I guess it's actually a landing since it's at the bottom of the stairs.

Rec Room, this is where the pool table and foose ball table will go.


Bathroom, not really much to say about that.


Office, looking from door to right side of room.

We still have some framing to do for the ceiling in the home theatre but that shouldn't take too long. We are getting ready to install the electrical and low voltage wiring now. I will post more pics as we progress.
