...and waiting to hang the new Pany Holographic 8000 so it doesn't slow down the build.

OK, figured out a way around the still-out DSL/Dial tone.....

Drywall should be finished tomorrow mud, taped, primed and cleaned up. More pics then.

Looking at that last pic, gotta give props to Brit for convincing me to cut out and leave out all the dricore until AFTER the drywall. The floor was a MESS during the install and after mudding and sanding. Cleanup of the concrete is MUCH easier than it would have been on the dricore. At least I'll know for sure when I get home as today is the final cleanup and "scraping" the floor.

And notice that after cutting out the dricore using the edge of the circular saw as the guide (as best I could anyway), the edge of drywall is pretty much right up to the edge of the dricore.

Almost like it was planned that way.

Shamless bump, a little progress and a dog story....

Made a "door," actually a wall on hinges to cover the opening to the furnace room and plug the hole for access to the humidifier. It was an experiment. It cut down on the noise a LOT, but finishing it and being able to seal it will be more trouble than its worth. Long story short, it will probably be better to replace it with a prehung safe and sound.

As I was building the wall I had a couple of 2x4s and a 1x3 laying around. Along one wall there was a 1x3 laying flat and a 2x4 on edge, about 2 feet apart. My "tool rack" was at the end of the room and the ends of the wood were about a foot from the rack. The dog walked in between the two pieces of wood, up to the rack. He decides there's really nothing in the rack worth chewing on. I look over and see him just standing there, frozen. He look side to side, stands there. Then, ever so slowly STARTS BACKING UP. He backed up the entire 8 feet! As smart as he seems, he couldn't figure out that it would have been REALLY easy to just step over the 2x4.

By finishing, I mean installing and trimming the doors and access panels. So, now that I think about it, I should be saying "trim it out," not "finish it." All of the WALLS are complete.

correct. Those were taken the day they finished hanging....was another couple of days to finish....just hadn't got any additional pics.

Let me be perfectly clear and say this about that (anyone old enough to get THAT one?)...I didn't do it in a day, the five guys on the crew did it in a day.

So I had a little time before heading out to (ahem) the Monday Night Football Game. I'm torn...I'm really an Eagles fan, but when I can't watch them I root for Redskins. They way they're going, they might BOTH lose.

A couple of pics of the primed space and you can see the "door" and access panel in place.

OK, one at a time...

I did hire out the painting too. The cost over leaving it ready to paint was minimal to the cost of the rest of the work. They were here, they were familiar with the room, so I had them do it, again a LOT faster than I would have.

I'm planning to incorporate those two columns into the bar build. They would be at the end of the bar defining the width. Basically the corners of that end of the bar. There is enough room to stand at that end lean in between the two posts and still see the screen. The builder's plan was to build a closet around them with a walkway on BOTH sides, facing the end wall where the closets are now, leaving it smack in the middle of that hallway. Didn't make much sense to me, but what do I know?

FIOS has been in the neighborhood for a couple of years. Made the mistake when switching to DSL prior to FIOS availability of using the DSL provider's email instead of going to something like GMail. Cannot get the LOGANESS to change emails AGAIN. I actually scheduled a FIOS install (I wanted to do it BEFORE closing in) but they cancelled. LOGANESS was not ready to change her email anyway, so here we are. Took me long enough to get her on to DVR. I'm still working on the FIOS.

Hanesian the only one to show his age?

That explains why he seems to always reply to posts before they're posted.
