Basement is 75% completed w0oT
 

This is my living area obviously (minus kitchen and bathroom) . Moved down here from my previous bedroom which was very small, later taken over by younger cousin last September. Been doing a little work here and there, and so far its going pretty well. The ceiling is 7 1/2 feet from the floor, and its @27ft by @23ft. I painted the concrete walls white and painted the cement flooring gray. Also added carpeting (since the flooring is a little bumpy, I didnt even bother going all out with carpets) I dont plan on adding any sheetrock to the walls cuz I dont wanna risk water damage (FYI concrete absorbs water and hence my basement is underground, the walls absorb the water from the ground and the walls stay SLIGHTLY damp which isnt really visible or noticable) . I might add removable padding to the ceiling to cover up the wires, exposed lights, and pipes. I also got an 8 ft long executive desk coming here next week wooo. Still gotta neaten up the wires but next thing to do is move my sister's computer desk upstairs to her room, then Im gonna add in a "lounge" which will include a cpl loveseats, another TV, pool table (and the beer fridges shown in last pic) :-D Then the basement is pretty much mine for now until I buy a house. I pretty much have to deal with the laundry room being there along with low-hanging pipes and the furnace which is ok. BTW, most of the stuff seen in the pictures came from my job :kneeslap:

if you dont like the hanging pipes, u can do droped ceiling, and enclose the water heater and furnace. just an idea :shrug:

Problem, one of the pipes is so low i gotta duck down to roughly 5 feet tall to get past it... and if i enclosed the furnace or any part of the basement for that matter, taxes will skyrocket, especially in this town cuz its at a really high rate.

thats if you tell 'em :wink: and if it isnt one of those huge ass toilet pipes they're pretty easy to move. just messy :lol:
but it looks good from the pictures so good job.

Thanks man. Someone comes every 7 or so years to evaluate houses for taxes. When my parents bought the house in 1989, taxes were $2100/yr ... last year it was at a little under $6000 ... thats for a seperate garage thats bigger than most houses in the area, 2 lots, and a 1800 sq ft home. And the pipe is for the heating system (we have old school radiators)

did u get that tv from ur job? how do you like the xbox 360? im gettin one soon, what games should I get?

hijack :lol: that was quick...



ohh i didnt know about the 7 year thing. ive build some crap around the house (deck, driveway, part of the garage, and now im slowly working on a shed) maybe my parents will have to shell out some extra doe. :lol:

Fight Night 3 and PGR3 ... im picking up FN3 tomorrow and Ive been playing PGR3, awesome graphics and the dashboard on the 360 is amazing. Its a MUST to have Xbox Live which is $50.00 for a year.

I got the TV as a christmas present... but I got the Becks light, coffee table, candles, armoir, brass decoratives, guitar, surround sound, and cologne/hat/shoe rack, plus alot more from my job :-D

if you plan on living down there def. invest in a dehumidifier if you already dont have one

awesome man, my friend has the same deal over at his house

good idea right there. you dont want **** getting moldy or something

looks like a sweet place to chill

Do you have your own entrance?

Already got one, yesterday alone I emptied out about 2 gallons from it

its kinda like my room since i switched from living here on the weekends to full time so i converted the basement.. maybe ill snap some photos later if i decide to clean it up a bit.

do what my bro did, drill a hole in the bottom, attach a hose to one end and put the other end to the outside.:smile:

pimpin.

me FTW.

Nice digs. :)

looks pretty sweet noah

Looks pretty good Noah. I live in the basement too. My living area is temporarily being used for storage, so it's pretty messy. I'll have to snap some pics of mine later, although most of you have prolly seen it in the various party pictures that have been posted over the last few years.
