nicely done

made good use of the space
can work on top, and store your tools below

and the stereo is a must in any workshop

ok heres some pics

the first is the door i put in yesterday
sounds easy, but it was surprisingly a royal pain in the ass
its a cheap, hollow-core door
had to trim it for width and height
drill the 2 holes for the knob and latch assembly
than mount the hinges

a lot of pain in the ass measuring, and dealing with the hollow door sucked
had to be real careful not to split/ruin the door
still need to sand and stain the door
and like a i re-used the old door trim
cut it to size and finally used my nailer to put it in
i didnt want to buy new trim for it yet, only because when i do the entire basement i'll get the matching trim then
for the time being, this is fine




the next two pics are of my laundry room/work room
its pretty big
def big enough for a good sized work bench top and storage

in the far corner you might be able to see where the dark room was
gonna add a bunch of outlets along where the top of the workbench will be
got some conduit and wire from work, and handy boxes
need to pull wire and finish the elcetrical work sunday

the bench top will wrap around the back wall
giving me roughly 20 foot of work top area
now i know i wont need it all, but i figure the far wall portion can be a folding area for laundry

lots of work still ahead...





i got a real cool hookup for the work top
my dad is friends with a guy that installed/makes bowling alley lanes
so im gonna get a 42" wide by 16' long piece for only $50
amazing deal, and its 2 and a quarter inches thick

it has to come in sections
they will be 21" by 8'
so i may just keep the actual top 21"deep
still in the planning process
