So the walls have been a major hangup. But this may be a great opportunity to try out a simple version of the sorts of systems I'm interested in using long-term. Rather than building a traditional wall, I can build a fake, free-standing wall. I have less issue then building it from wood because if I have to replace a section, it's easy.

* 10 sheets 1" insulation
* 10 sheets 1/2" OSB
* 10 sheets 1/8" plywood veneer
* 2 sheets 3/4" plywood
* moisture barrier & tape (322 sqft)


I will put pillars in the corners and along the long wall at the 1/3 and 2/3 point. The panels will be bead-board backed by thin rigid foam insulation and made rigid with wood strips (probably 1"x0.5" plywood).

* 4x8 .5 insulation $12.50
I want to move the lights from the ceiling to wall sconces. To run this behind the furring requires that I use mc cabling.
* 4x8 drywall $8.25


So maybe to keep the cost down I'll just do drywall, no insulation. I can build a 1" tall torsion box and glue the drywall to it.

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.
I'll need to get exact measurements, but I want two taller cabinets at each end, a working space in the middle with shallow shelves. An open space underneath for a mini-fridge. The left-hand cabinet will hide the ugly pipe (but leave it accessible) and the right hand cabinet will hold the electronics as well as having a space for a laundry basket under the chute.


Cashway for lumber
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.


It's 2' deep, 7' tall, but I'll need to go a bit lower for the vent. A little less than 2' is fine for the insides, I'll lose some to the back and face, so I can get two out of a sheet.
I also need a lock for the wine cabinet and the bar. I think I could do this with servos.

There was a lot of moisture under the floor. I really need to get the gutter situation fixed.
First, put down a moisture barrier. Leave a bit around the edges.


I could put in a dimpled subfloor like [http://www.homedepot.com/p/DMX-1-STEP-100-sq-ft-44-in-x-27-ft-6-in-Unique-Air-Gap-Underlayment-Prevents-Mold-and-Mildew-DMX-1-Step/204494289 this]. I'll need 4 rolls.
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.

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.
We painted the floor with an epoxy paint, but it's not very durable. I think I'll finish the rest of the basement as is, but when it's done, I'll go back and put in a linoleum floor. Even if some moisture is trapped, it can't mold.

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.

Measurements

Ground 13' x 22'

Dry wall: (13*2+22)*7 = 336 sqft

  • (2x) 13x7 → 2x2 sheets
  • (1x) 22x7 → 3x2 sheets
  • 2*4+6 = 14 sheets

Floor: 13*22 = 286

Bar area: 8'6"W x 7'T x 2'D

Pipe is about 20" wide, 55" high.

Chute is about 15" wide

Along wall

  • 32" wall
  • 39" door
  • 32" wall
  • 64" x 24" fireplace
  • 102" wall
