Next!

I believe the next project in the basement workshop will be to install some walls. There are three areas where the stud walls of the adjoining rooms/stairways are exposed.



One of those areas is the basement bathroom. With the fiberglass shower right on the other side. No need to go poking a piece of lumber into the shower, mmm?



The other two are on the opposite end of the workshop. the stairway coming down is sheetrocked on the "good" side but exposed on the workshop side. The other small area is the wall to the utility room. The utility room is covered in plywood since it has a large baffle array with all the plumbing turnoffs attached to it.

I'm thinking of using some of the remaining 8" wide tongue and groove put up horizontally to sheath the walls. It seems a little fancy for a workshop. But it's available, free (well sorta--I paid for it when we bought the kit for the log home) and will do the job.

The long back wall (the end of the basement) and the shorter side wall near the utility room wall can be sheathed in plywood. The sturdy backing will make putting up cabinets to store tools a little easier.

Yeah, that will be the next project. Just as soon as I clean up the tools that are just laying around so I can reach the damn walls.
