As you may have guessed, I worked almost all weekend on the basement. Flooring in the main part of the basement and nook is now complete. Plus, there was some question as to whether or not my work on the radon system would destabilize the system's suction/vacuum (since it works just like a vacuum), but after gluing all the PVC back together and turning it on, it works! Whew.
Here's how the nook is taking shape - a retrospective way back to Bench and Wall Demolition on July 7.
BEFORE
Demolition.
Demolition.
Clean slate.
Framing expansion and re-routing PVC.
Drywall Install.
Joint taping.
Joint compound or "mudding". Plus lots of sumo-sanding and dust.
Now this is what happened this weekend... priming.
Painting with Benjamin Moore "Iron Mountain".
Baseboards.
Wainscoting. (I've yet to install the wainscot cap, but it's all painted and ready to go.)
Beginning of art/animation wrap-around workspace.
We're having a little trouble picking paint colors for the rest of the walls, door and stairs, but we're getting there...
PS
We ran the JCCRI 5K on Sunday. Sue ran 25:20, and I ran 23:10. The weather was great. Fun times.

The basement looks fantastic. I really couldn't picture it well until just now. Love the deep brown too.
