Basement Update

Our basement is done.

Well, sort of.

I previously posted the status of this project here. Over the last couple of days, the ceiling, puck lights, drywall, and doors were installed.

We chose a light gray paint for the walls, and we hired a painter an interior designer friend of mine recommended for this. For only $160 Vince primed and painted the walls, as well as, the drywall portion of the ceiling. We would hire him again in an instant.

Sal and I still need to choose a material for the floor, and the trim will need to be installed both around the floor and around around the windows. We plan to save the money for these last steps this summer and tackle it next winter.

Behind the double doors, top left, is a large closet for storage. Our attic access is terrible so we plan to store things like luggage and drum cases here. We use those things frequently enough that putting them in the attic and taking them out again becomes a chore. This is easy.

Behind the single door, bottom left, is the utility room. It contains the hot water heater, the water main, furnace, and electrical panel. Sal also has copious amounts of boxes of just "stuff" in there. The bulkhead, top right, enclosed the duct work.

Seth was so excited to hear the basement is "finished" and immediately requested the drums be set up. 

Lux Contracting was a great choice for this project. They will be our go-to contractors from here on out.
