Basement Finishing

This weekend we just started our long awaited basement finishing project. Thanks go out to Zach and Anne for coming down and showing us the way. I probably wouldn't have been able to put up a single wall in the time it took Zach and I to finish the framing!

We are putting in a bedroom, bathroom, storage room, living room, fireplace, and a wet bar. After this weekend our next step is to do plumbing, electrical, and heating.

I took a series of before and after photos if anyone is interested. I'll try to explain what you're looking at as I go.
