Basement
Project plan for the basement
- X Clean basement out
- X Tear everything out
- X Schedule mold removal & electrical
- Hang drywall
- Tape drywall
- Build bar and cabinets
- paint drywall
- install floors
- install baseboard and molding
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.
Build
- Glue up insulation
- Install furring based on where panels will go - needs padding
- Rewire lighting
- Install floors
- install gantry base
- install ceiling
- Install hardboard
- Install MDF battens
- Install bead work
- Caulk / fill
- Prime
- Paint
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
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

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.
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 one down the center for support. After building the first one, test it for strength before installing. If I need to add more support, that should be easy.
The surface will be thin plywood cut in 6" strips. 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.
