Busy weekend here in the basement! We want to get things done by Thanksgiving, so it was a working weekend. Dad came to put the outlets and the lights in. We decided to go with overhead recessed lighting. For some reason the 5 inch lights were cheaper than the 4 inch, so we went with the 5 inch. Plus, they came in a contractor's pack of six, and it's cool when you buy the contractor's pack of anything....so we did. We got the first set of lights in on Friday night. They were very cool. With the framing all finished, dad placed the outlets and switches were we wanted them and hooked them to hook up on Sunday. Saturday was sheetrockin day...ten hours of it! It was worth though. Check out how we decided to handle the furnace/water heater area above. Something different, but we hope it will look good with a mantle piece on top. Sunday...more Sheetrock! Dad came back to finish the outlets and the second set of overhead lights. By the end of the night...all the sheetrock was in and the outlets and lights are all on! Whoohoo!
Look at all the sheetrock!
Here's our fun wall!
