My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

[RAMurphy]

Now electrical is something I do enjoy. Ended up wiring 4 additional circuits. One for the bathroom/bar, one for the lights, one for my audio/visual wall and one for the wall outlets. I also wired in the surround system for our basement theater. Recessed lighting throughout.

Then the drywall got installed. Not sure why I did not take pictures of the insulation installation. Probably because I was trying to get that done prior to my friend coming over for the drywall. Ceiling first then the walls.

The Bar area.

The Audio/Visual wall:

Thought I would provide some pictures of where I'm at today. Mudding is an on going effort. I also decided to texture the ceiling instead of trying to just make a perfect smooth surface.

So you mentioned that you are working on a project. Care to share?

So you mentioned that you are working on a project. Care to share?

I’m making my one-car 1950’s garage a drive-through. I have a huge back yard with a pad in the far corner that could be used as a project area to build a vehicle on but no way to get a vehicle INTO the back yard. When I did a garage rebuild a year ago (?) I made sure that I could fit a rig through, and left the back wall unfinished. So I have been working on that back wall. I now have an 8’ x 8’ opening in the back and will be building a pair of 4’ x 8’ swinging doors to fit. And in one of those doors will be the 30” door that I removed. That’s the plan anyway, I have a piece of steel and an idea on how to make the frame rigid. The idea is that the big doors will stay closed most of the time ( all the time in the winter) and my day-to-day access will be through the small man door. And when I need to move a vehicle through, open the big doors. Here’s a link to the “ whatcha up to “ thread where I posted my last pic.

Sort of like how older gas stations/garage doors were set up. In NJ anyway.
