Pics make room look small but its not small like the pics make it out to be.

Ill update thread when i wall mount the other 32" plasma and 4 more 22" monitors and get the air brushing done on back wall :wink:

Nice work, so I take it you’re back in Buffalo?

NICE!

Nice.

You should put an outlet behind the wall mount so you don’t have the power cord hanging down.

funny ya said that, im just about done doing it. already did it with cable line. just gotta go get a bit more wire. putting up another box where other 32" is going also. i love the clean look.

yup yup

i do hate ny thow. :biglol:

looks nice!

:word: Hide those wires.

Looks cool. I want to see some more pics because those definitely make the room look tiny.

yeah the pics do. took them with my bb storm. i mean the desk is. 8 feet long and looks small. lol

Needs some baseboard edging to hide the drywall/carpet gapping.

Looks like a cool get away.

well theres the problem right there, if you had a iphone the pics would look bigger hahaha

Needs more stripper pole

Did you do the glass block yourself? I want to install some in my basement, but have no clue how to go about doing it.

Nice work :tup:

And off topic…did you paint the back bumper of your vette black? Is it 2 tone now?

Not a fan of how you ran the wires for the lighting. You should have drilled through the floor supports instead of mashing them between the sheetrock and the supports. Definitely would have put an outlet behind the tv too. I’m sure you’ll get some base molding in soon too.

Aside from those qualms, I think finished basements rock. Instant equity :slight_smile:

edit: I think I have the same lights up in my kitchen.

Put a co detector down there if you have a furnace or water heater in that basement.

damn and i thought my man cave was sweet lol

i did drill through the floor beams… the yellow wire is the wire i ran. the white wire is another wire that was there. i also ran that threw holes in the beams :wink:

base molding i just got, gotta do. remember. start to finish in 1 week for all this takes a normal person alot longer. so now its just the finishing touches./

2 furnaces… thats on my list to do tomm. also.
