Hey, remember way back when we were renovating our basement? Turns out we still are.
Over the summer and the first part of fall, we took a break from the really intensive work and concentrated on things like gardening and grilling and going on vacation. We worked in the basement every now and then, though, and got the insulation done. We passed the insulation inspection this week, and are ready to start hanging drywall. It looks more like a room now than ever!
We have R-13 insulation in the walls, and R-28 in the ceiling, primarily for sound-deadening purposes. The wood floors on the main floor don't provide much in the way of a barrier. You can also see our makeshift setup for a flat screen HDTV that we don't yet own. All the cables go through the wall - there will be some sort of bookshelf or console to hold the TiVo, DVD player, and whatnot down below, and then the television will be mounted on the wall, with no cords in sight. Sweet!
Looking the other direction, into the dining and office area.
Even though not a lot of work has been done, the bathroom gets a shot for good measure.
