Basement Project End of Week 11

Week 11 saw the painting mostly finished up and electrical trim out on Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday and today the HVAC guys did their finishing work.

Here’s how things look now. (Compare to last week.)

The Main Space

A practically finished basement living space. The ceiling is painted a charcoal gray with circular lights. A bluish gray foot-long-ish border goes along the top of the walls. The bulk of the walls are a gray color. The window well is inset against the border. The flooring is a wood-looking material.

The Laundry

The laundry shelf still needs a coat of finish, and the access panels for plumbing still need to be finished.

The Stairs

The stair treads still need to be installed. We’re waiting on the stain to come in and be applied. Plus a bonus second pic now that the door’s been painted.

The Utility Room

We have a light in the utility room now, so here’s how that is looking.
