More mancave

Half of our basement is not  finished.  Just the 3 bedrooms and bathroom at the end of hall. We are just finishing the hallway and the media room you see here.  I told Angi I would have it done in October.... haha,   I refuse to pay someone to do the work.  So far I have framed, electrical wire/lighting/outlets, Heating duct work, canned LED lighting,(utah power has rebates on LED lighting, they paid for half of the lights) they also rebate on insulation, (basically free since me, Ry and Branson installed it). hung 3 doors, Cat5 wired intercom for all rooms in house so Angi can easily yell at us from any room. of course pre-wired for full 7.2 Dolby/DTS surround sound mancave experience.  We have sheetrock coming Friday and hanging Saturday or Monday.   My neighbor is a sheetrocker and he is doing the hanging/taping( I will pay for that!) and we will try to paint and I may have a neighbor contractor help us with finish-work for the computer nook.  We will probably try to lay down some laminate faux wood flooring on our own but we will see.

Sweet...but I am confused. I thought your basement was done? Is this in your house? A different wing of your basement? DETAILS please...details!

Wow...that's amazing. I want to come see it. You should hire yourself out. I am re-doing our kitchen. Just painting cabinets, beadboard, and backsplash...and it has taken me almost 2 months. It is so much work...I can only imagine all the work your basement has been. Way to go.
