Ready for walls

[HMF]

@Tony my daughter wants to just paint it a color of her choice. The TV center will be veneered and stained.

@Marco the green is the green board and the white is the mud. It will be sanded and recoated today. We used 5/8" green board (moisture resistant) down the basement. A bit more costly.

Lookin great Nelson!!!! Wont be too long before the rec room will be a regular family hangout for you the wife and the kids. Just remember to install a door between the clock and metal shop into the rec room so you can get to them in a jiffy. And don't forget smoke detectors and fire extinguishers if your access Ingress or Egress is limited.

No door there, Bob...I don't want to be able to cut through too easily...LOL :justdont:
You have to go through the tiny metal shop to even tinier the clock area...
When I was on other boards, I was fed up enough to sell my machines and make the whole thing a clock shop...
Now I have the SB heavy 10 in pieces, the VB #12 mill almost together and the Burke #4 mill in there.
Clock shop has a tiny Sherline for pivot polishing...

I have an industrial sized extinguisher in the hallway, and plan to put a combined fire and carbon dioxide detector in the rec room.

I know that green board: I used the same to restore my downstairs bathroom.
Here we mount them on "tin foil" rails and, while screwing it, I had the amazing experience of piercing the tip of a finger (and the nail above) with one of those pesky hyper-pointed screws while keeping the panel against the rail.
Red stains don't fit nicely with that green! :lmao:

Cheers Nelson,

Nice job on the wiring..... I like the fact that you left a loop of slack for any future repairs. Electricians around here leave nothing at all....

Best regards...

Update

I built the window for the air conditioner with two small panes for light. The floor was USA made lock together tiles.

I'm installing the base moldings today.

Re: Ready for a ceiling

I installed insulation in the ceiling, and strapped the ceiling joists with 2x4's to install sheetrock.
Have to contact the sheetrock guy now.

As soon as the room is completed, I can move on to my shop! :rubbinghands:
