Project plan for the basement

  1. Clean basement out
  2. Tear everything out
  3. Schedule mold removal & electrical
  4. Hang drywall
  5. Tape drywall
  6. paint drywall
  7. Build bar and cabinets
  8. install floors
  9. install baseboard and molding

Bar/Cabinets

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.

I'm just going to buy cabinetry from HD.

Electrical Need to get another circuit down there.

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

There was a lot of moisture under the floor. I really need to get the gutter situation fixed.

I could put in a dimpled subfloor like this. I'll need 4 rolls.

Update

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' mold.

Measurements

Ground 13' x 22'

Dry wall: (13+22)*7*2 = 490 sqft

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
