There are a ton of things we're going to do while we're here at our first house, some are still on the decision block, some are deff getting done.
This project is remodeling our basement. There are a few reason why we want to do this. Some of which include:
No insualation in the entire basement. Not one stich
Wood Panel walls (it's not the 60's anymore)
2x3 framing
Old electric
Primative A/V cable
So we're:...
network the entire house, coax, fiber, cat6, patch panels, svideo, drywall everything, insulate, add drops for 7.1 surround, building a reinforced wall for the 50"+ lcd tv unit, new carpet, new windows, fresh electric, new theatre lighting, fresh paint, etc
Here are some shots of the floor plan when it's all said and done.
(update: everywhere you see 2 network drops its now one figure i dont really need 12 in my house.. one in each room 3 in the office is fine)
Downstairs
Upstairs
Here is some shots of the before and after demo.
(under this window is where the 50 + flat LCD will go (we're reinforcing the stuts here to support it)
(New windows going in place of these POS's *most our heat is out these shit boxes)
(Fucking panel everywhere)
(Going to be all sheet rock)
(People before us' awesome molding job)
(Demo started)
(Panels all gone)
(fucking 2x3's if it was at least 2x4's i wouldnt have to reframe it all.FUCK!)
(Phone line ran INTO the air duct.. awesome...)
(Framings gone)
(the only wall with 2x4's *looking into my office* too bad they built it OVER the fucking paneling.. so thats gonna come down too..)
(looking into my work shop/utility room)
Few more pictures for you all.
Wall being built
Wall hung
We only got to one wall up tonight, granted a large wall. I'm ordering all my networking stuff tonight/tomorrow and working on demoing one more wall and a doorway we didnt think we were tearing out, sealing up some of the masonry, and adding a new joice.
Water proofing on the masonry behind where the TV will be
Random shot of doing it right
Decided to pull out the last wall while we were at it, and again, re-do it right
24' wall up
Boxing out the framing for the breaker box
Wall the Tv will go on framed up. Minus the support for the tv (those cross members are me sketching out where i want the tv i'll be adding major support here soon
2 more walls to go after this guy (back wall in my office)
Discusting single pane aluminum frame window w/ sill framed out
New windows ready to go in
Second to last wall getting framed out
The wall is actually level and plum... think the rafters might be off a bit????
