My Basement Lounge Project is Officially Underway

[danmcmartin]

Wow, makes me wish I had a basement. Should be pretty cool. Post up progress pics!!!

Wow, what a great project! If I ever get to a point where I stop moving for my job I dream of doing the same thing. I save my empty wooden cigar boxes and break them down saving the lids or other sides with interesting marking/graphics. I think a really cool idea would be taking these wooden pieces and doing a kind of box mosaic on a wall.

Great project. We need some more Progress pictures!

How long will the whole project take?

Great project.

I was telling my wife I needed something like that for the winter and got a simple "NO".

So I guess she saved me a lot of work, just hope I do not catch a cold this winter.

Wow I wish I had a basement... Down south the best I can hope for is to close in my carport....
Good luck and post up your progress!

Cool stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing how this will turn out.

Admirable ambition.

Perhaps you can find a bit of inspiration in this thread by Mark THS
PROJECT: Cigar room
and for those of you looking for a bit of vicarious fun you won't be disappointed with a visit.

Step 1: Purchase Wares - Complete.

Just got back from the lumber store with the following:

76 - 2x4x8's
11 - Treated 2x4x8's
16 - Single Gang Boxes
1 - Two Gang Box
1 - Three Gang Box
4 - Single Pole Switches
20 - 15 amp outlets (two 10 packs).
1 - Dimmer switch (for lights) -- already have the "dimmer" for the vent
New Estwing Hammer (been needing a new hammer for a while)
100' 14/2 wire
5lb box of 16d coated nails

My friend who is helping me will be bringing over his ramset.. I might see if he can do so tonight so I can get a jump.

Once framing is done I have an HVAC guy coming in to determine the work. I have already worked out a trade for him where I develop him a brand new website and he does parts and labor for free.

Works out for both of us.

So cool! I wish you good luck!

badass, i would love to even just seal off my basement and have it as a smoking room, but it would be a lot of money(not for the room) but for me to take my wife shopping to make up for me getting a smoking room. HAHA

You are running coax and cat-5 as well right? Even if you don't want it video and internet/phone access would help the resale value of the room.

You just could not wait to tell all the boys at school about your new toys could you!

Sounds great I can't wait for the Pics.

[thebayratt]

Sounds like you are getting a great start............
And we thank you for shopping at Lowe's!
