Basement Remodel Continues

Yay it's July and I am still working on the basement... well floor is starting to go down and below is Travertine going down at the entrance area of the basement from garage.




Ditra down at the Laundry area...

Garage Sale Steal

Look what I got for $10!!!! Three (3) 9 inch base cabinet with pull out drawers... and these are made by 1/2 solid plywood... nice...



I was able to put the slide kit into my existing cabinet... yay!!!! it works great

basement remodel continues

Yes... work has been incredibly slow... But with work and work after work it has been painful... But here are some photos...

Below is the laundry room side.. air ducts to upstairs are now hidden behind the dry walls.... This side will have tiles on the floor... I haven't bought them yet... I am looking for big tiles at dirt cheap price to stay within my budget.

I love these subway tiles from HD... they are cheap and they look so much better than the square tiles... IMO. I know I will eventually use them again somewhere...

Most walls have been spray painted. Thank god for the paint sprayer, painting on the beaded board would've been too time consuming. I still need to paint one wall and some doors painted... If time allows I will work on that this weekend....

Eventually this small room below will have some engineered hardwood. They've been sitting in my garage for about 3 months.

Newly completed basement stair case... woman in NYC was giving round penny tiles away for free... about 19 sq ft and it was perfect amount to go over my hideous stairs.... one advice to anybody that's looking to use round tiles... you will need more than typical amount of GROUT.

Basement Remodel...

Well Basement remodel started back in December and it's on slow pace... Unlike Pre Quentin era... I litterally can not do any work during week nights... so if anything it's usally only 3 to 4 hrs on Sat or Sun... It ususally takes pretty about 30 mins to get yourself going so you can imagine how slow it's going....
But anyway... I wanted to put some Pre Remodel photos ... so here they are....

All Constructions were on halt...

This happened and guess what? all constructions were on halt cuz this happened....

well most of the kitchen stuff is all complete... however my office is kinda getting little small.. so I need to start working on the basement and take my office stuff to downstairs...

Well my current budget for the basement is about $2,000 to finish... I do have some stuff that I can re use.. such as black and white grout... I will be creative and mix the two to get grey grouts.. =) ... and I have some coupons and gift card that add up to $35 I think...

No matter what my budget for the basement is $2,000 out of my pocket... so let's see how much I can get out of what I have... I plan to re use dining table that I no longer use and etc... Oh yeah $2,000 does not include new TV and etc... I will need to post some basement photos....

More Photos...

Kitchen with Shelving installed

Newly installed Shelving..

Left most door to Right door.... Bathroom, 2nd Small Bedroom, Hall Way Closet (Door Removed) and Master Bedroom Door

More space in the kitchen = More junk in the kitchen

It felt like a move in day... after having stuff boxed from the day we moved in and the day we shut the kitchen down.. We had enough stuff out to get us by, but now all the kitchen stuff is converging from basement and attic .. at the same time.. more countertop space means more surface area to place junks.. which necessary is not a good thing...
