I’ve been remodelling the basement a bit. Actually, modelling it might be more accurate. It was unfinished when we moved in, and gradually, over the past several years, I’ve been working on it. We wired it quite a while ago. The first round of outlets, not just a series of extension cords with wire covers. Then when we were doing the second floor addition, we added a sink with a pump for water downstairs.

About a year and a half ago I started framing out walls in the basement, mostly with scrap left over from the addition. And just before last Christmas I finally sheetrocked those walls. I added some more outlets too. I’m still waiting for help on the ceiling this Summer, but a couple weeks ago I finally did the floor. I opted to cover the raw concrete with vinyl tile. Not the cheap peel and stick you usually see, though. This stuff is thick with a beveled edge and you can actually grout it like regular tile if you want to. I’m loving the new basement floor.
