Basement
Project plan for the basement
- Glue up insulation
- Install furring
- Rewire lighting
- Install floors
- install gantry base
- install ceiling
- Install hardboard
- Install MDF battens
- Install bead work
- Caulk / fill

I also think I want to put in the floor before the drywall so it can go under it a little. But I should put in and seal the bottom piece first.

Reference
Lights
I want to move the lights from the ceiling to wall sconces. To run this behind the furring requires that I use mc cabling.
Bar/Cabinets
The entire space will be storage. One tall cabinet, a wine cabinet, fold down bar and a tall cabinet.
The cabinets should be fairly straight forward, though I'm a bit nervous about the hinges.
The wine cabinet will have glass and lighting, possibly temperature control.
The bar will be the complicated part. The bottom will just be a cabinet with a fridge. The top will be a fold down bar. I'd really like a parallel mechanism for the legs, but I'm not sure that's possible.
I also need a lock for the wine cabinet and the bar. I think I could do this with servos.
TV
Not much, but I'd like to repaint the chimney, put up shelves for the speakers and put up something to hold the cabling.
It may be worth putting up a facade of brick or stone.
Floor
First, put down a moisture barrier. Leave a bit around the edges.
The subfloor will contain the insulation. I think this will be easiest to build in the garage then assemble in the basement. Each section is the size of a sheet of OSB, except for the area around the edges. Each section has a frame running around the edges and two down the center for support. Alex is coming up on 4/4/20 to help with this.
The surface will be thin plywood cut in 6" strips. After cutting, I'll go back over the board and cut a slight chamfer to create a small gap between the boards. The strips can be sanded in the garage. I'll stain and seal them in the basement. I'll need to do a few tests. My plan is a darker stain and oil base poly seal. My plan is to just glue the floor down.
