Status update

Framing is about 85% complete. Onto the last few walls, might take a little longer than some of the other walls. Securing the top plate for the framing is going to be a challenge, there is low hanging ducts and electrical wiring in the way. We're going to box the soffits and then build the wall under the soffit. Hoping to have the framing complete in the next 2 weeks, then onto wiring.




Oh and we did a little shopping in between framing on saturday. Picked up a box or two of laminate flooring and a bunch of 2x4's and 2x2's for framing and soffits. Oh, and some electrical outlets and boxes.

Finished making another wall last weekend. This wall creates the second storage room. Reinforced door way using wood studs instead of metal.
Door way still needs to be finished.

Good Customer Service... yah really... no seriously

Got a courtesy call from Chad at Home Depot on Saturday morning. He had helped us get our initial shopping list together for our first round of purchases. Was really nice of him to drop us a call and see how things are going. Also, a great time to ask him some questions I had.

Anyways, no pictures on this update. We put in good few hours on Sat/Sun and finished framing the first wooden wall (bar area).

Now we're onto one of the hardest areas, an angled wall w/ door around some really low duct work . Fun stuff.

Framing begins...

And the framing finally begins...
