MichaelandKlipsch Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Starting to form looks excellent. While you have it in its raw stage id suggest adding a few dedicated circuits for future upgrades. The bar will be an awesome addition!

The Dude Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Redid the insulation as I didn't like how I had done it first. I have learned a few things. This I do know, before framing install rigid foam board. Then frame then insulation. All so I will only use Roxul from here on out. You will see 2 types, only as I wanted to use what I had. But I will see how this method holds up through the next several months when it comes to moisture issues. Next is to wrap up some electrical, and the air duct. Then hopefully my bar plumbing. Then I should be ready to finish insulation, then drywall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Keep chuggin' and pluggin', thing are starting to take shape. Once the wall are up things will really start to shape up and the finish line will be in site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 At this point, I am hopefully waiting for my annual bonus. If that is of what I hope. I should be able to get though drywall stage. But if not I fear things will go stagnant again[emoji45] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hang in there... It is def worth the wait to get a HT room completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well obviously i didn't get the bonus i was hoping for. But the good news is i will be receiving the funds to get all the insulation, along with most if not all the drywall. There are a few things i need to button up before i drywall. Once drywall is done things hopefully will go a bit quicker, especially since my wife wants the upstairs redone. Fortunately for me she knows the basement needs finished first. Anyways here is something i pick up yesterday. I also purchased a Marantz Sr 5004 to get me by. Once the drywall is done, i will finish the second Jamboree along with the th spud clone. Those will keep my family and i content until the rest is finished and the projector and screen are up.

I will check with a local supplier to see if they offer a better vapor retarder that helps control the vapor better.But this method is the most promising at this point.

derrickdj1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) It is nice to see you are still plugging and chugging away at the HT. This is a lot of work, lol. But, It will be well worth all the work! Thanks for the update. Big Ten football is almost here!!! We will see how Nebraska does against my Buckeyes this year.

The Dude Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Well the deal on the Mara fell through, so i ended up scoring an Integra dtr 40.2 for $100.00 more. This unit has all the features I want including a phono input. Should see it by Thursday. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wow, can't believe its been 3 years since I have worked on this. I guess that was right about the time I started my Associates degree. Well I have started back up as I never made it past the last photo. This time I told the wife (as long as funds will allow) I am finishing this thing (plus its the only way I would consider new flooring and paint upstairs). I have decided to do things correctly, as it stands, I have pulled a permit, and cleaned the basement out. I will start jack hammering the floor for the wet bar, as I will need to run a drain from the bar to the other side of the room. I will add a photo here shortly of the it cleaned out. I really don't have much more to do, as I had a majority of the wiring done, I have some odds and ends I want to add, but for the most part, we are talking a days worth of wiring. Once drain is installed, holes are sealed (as per code), I will start insulation. It may still take a majority of the year, as we are heading into baseball and camping season, but I planned to be down with dry wall by time winter hits. Please feel free to critique, as I don't want to leave out important stuff. Stay tuned. looks like I have to resize some photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 small updates as of today, still waiting for my plumber buddy to stop by and tell me were yo jack hammer. I have added photos of the area that I have jack hammered to the Google photo link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 just a couple of updates. the election stopped by and reconfigured some three/four way switches to just 3 way, as the 4 way was not needed. jack hammering of the concrete is complete and I have started the digging process. I have sealed the framing at the top, any holes, and every 10 feet as required by code. i am hoping to have more if not all dug out by Monday. then i just need to seal the ceiling under the stairs and i should be ready for inspection.

The Dude Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 its a lot of work for a wet bar, but we don't plan on moving so this will be used regularly. weird, the photo I am attempting to upload is only 1.89 mb, but it still wont let me. I for the life of me wish there was a setting on my phone that would automatically reduce the file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
