got some more done today, did the base and framed in the windows. All i need to do to finish is paint them both and hang two ceiling fans. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done090.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done090.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done092.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done092.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done089.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Done089.jpg) ---

A liittle over $3000, well worth it though, just money I will get back if I sell it. I did all the work myself so saved probably $5000, thats framing, electrical, drywall mudding sanding, painting, insulation, etc. ---

Very nice, I like the exposed brick. Your project might just motivate me to finish the space over my garage. I could use another 700 square feet.🙂 There will be no pictures of my project posted though.:snky: ---

I saw it on the frontpage of SD the other day, but i’m not in the market I just picked up a 52". Room looks great. I will definitly have to get a hold of that guy for some carpet. ---

So I went back on BestBuy and got a 50 Panasonic and 60gb Xbox for $1370.00 shipped, it will be here Monday. They didnt have anymore of the Samsungs, and they wouldn’t match the price for the bundle that circuit city had. ---

Finally finished my attic and I rewarded myself with a Panasonic 50 and 60gig Xbox 360. The stand looks a little funny so I might get a different one but it was free so whatever. Anyway it took a little over a year and I am fucking happy I am done, also happy with the results. I have a few more things to do around the house and I will be completely finished, the kitchen cupboards are next and I will be done in there. Here are the final pics. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic004-1.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic004-1.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic005-1.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic005-1.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic006-1.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic006-1.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic007-1.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic007-1.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic009-1.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic009-1.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic010.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic010.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic011.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic011.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic012.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic012.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic013.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic013.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic014.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic014.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic015.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic015.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic016.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/Attic016.jpg) ---

↑ Yeah that’s all it is, my nieces and nephews will have fun up there when they sleep over. Now I can watch TV and still be on my computer. Maybe down the road when I have some kids I can make it into two bedrooms. I should have put a urinal in the closet, then I wouldn’t have to leave up here.
