Pictures of the basement remodel in mid-stage

Here are some pictures that are of the basement remodel about midway through the project:

Steve's new toy room.

 Notice Steve's new toy room has a subfloor.  It will also have something called Quiet Rock and insulation to basically contain any noise made within it. 

New double paned window and its framing.

 George found 4 new basement windows from Gnome Despot.  We were surprised to find windows that fit there; we thought we'd have to have them custom made.  It's a whole lot less expensive when things don't have to be custom made!  Score one for George!  The Sombreros installed them.

New framing around the electrical panels.

Subfloor.

 You can see that the subfloor has 2 parts to it: Delta FL plastic matting and OSB (plywood boards).  The Delta FL plastic matting has hard indentations in it to allow moisture to escape and evaporate from underneath to the sides.  The Delta FL and the OSB are screwed into the concrete.  The Sombreros broke a couple of drill bits and screws trying to install this.

The new water center.

 George did a supremely good job with this.  Before all of the water filtration, water tank, and water well pump were moved, it was a rats nest of pipes.  Now it's all neat, clean, and organized.  It took George 2 full days to get all this moved (and therefore, get water back).  Steve helped him source parts and helped whenever he could.  George did "fire" Steve as his helper twice during that phase, but apparently, Steve has earned his plumbing wings back with George.  haha  THANKS GEORGE!

This is a few into the kids playroom from the opposite end of the finished part of the basement.  This is going to be pretty awesome when it's done!!!
