Walls done and painted

I've got the walls done primered.  We picked out a dark tan paint for the walls and will get that done the next couple of days.
... then, it is time to clean up the for carpet!

Ceiling is done!

I really hate cutting drywall in. Especially on the ceiling now. I had a couple of light fixtures and an air supply that I needed to do, but the drywall lift made it simple!!!

Now time to play with Spackle for the next week or so....   And time to order some carpet!

Ceiling in the storage room

I've never done a drywall ceiling before, and I have to say, this drywall lift is awesome!!  Glue the joists, raise up the drywall and boom!!
You know I like to do everything myself and don't like asking for help, so this makes the job that much better!

Hearing, Ventilation, Air Conditioning

A lot of people neglect this phase when they are finishing their basement. It is very important to get air flow down in your basement. Mold, rot and various smell will plague you if you don't get this right. I was easily able to tap into some of the ventilation from the upper floor.

Drywall time!

I purchased 20 sheets of 54" drywall / 12 ft sheets.  I wanted to have as few seams as possible and I think when you get it in this size, it is actually cheaper once you are all said and done.

 This is the workshop wall...

This is the wall inside of the storage closet.

Ceiling

I was able to install the furring strips on the ceiling today.  Since I am going to drywall the ceiling (for maximum height, and lower cost) I needed to mount these spacing pieces to the ceiling so that I could put up the drywall without running into problems with the electrical conduit and other things that are already up on the ceiling.

Insulation in progress

I'm insulating the walls of the rooms and the ceiling for sound.  The ceiling also needs to be insulated because of the floor heating system I installed.  Its a nasty job, but somebody has to do it.
