Basement Remodel progress

Ductwork coming down to make room for reinforcing the floor joists


Me: Wait, isn't supposed to be really COLD this weekend?! Crap!



Taking advantage of the opportunity to rewire some 1st floor outlets that had 110 year old electric work

My new basement

Bathroom finally complete and outdoor projects winding down as fall approaches, I decided start out the basement remodel project.

So far I've

Taken down a workbench
Removed a storage room and ceiling in that room (plaster and lathe)
Remove a wall that created a long narrow closet
Removed the west-facing exterior wall (2x4 + plywood)
Removed a bunch of carpeting from the west half of the basement
Repaired a bunch of foundation problems with concrete patch.

Here's the current state of affairs


The is the remaining stuff that is in this part of the basement all packed in. The excitement is behind that dropcloth...


This is the back west side of the basement, where the storage room was.


This is facing fully north, where there used to be a wall separating this part of the basement from the furnace area.


This is the north west foundation wall. Lots of crumbling paint/dryloc and a few problems that required some concrete patching.
