I don't have a 'basement' right now...it's more of a 'crawlspace' that you can stand up in (well, afro and I could stand up down there ) but I'm looking at these adorable craftsman style houses that have unfinished basements and I'm ready for a new project!
The koi pond in the basement reminds me of a house I visited once...there was a sunken hot tub in the middle of the living room. :?
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
nice project & stuff. your basement is coming together & looks awesome. i love finished basements. i've had my bedroom in a basement or two. that was nice & a great place for us young people to hang out in. our next door neighbor was a cop which was cool & stuff & in the cover of darkness we snuck garbage sacks fulla grass through the windows & into my basement/bedroom/hang out

Thanks! We're pretty happy with how it's coming along ... here's hoping that's a trend that continues!

Thanks! But it feels like we're running out of time to get this done by Saturday night ... :?

yeah, wtf? I didnt get a party invitation yet?
just a little summer get together...maybe we can have a pearl jam fiesta in the fall when they tour....and we have all our tour posters up....they're still need to get framed.... :oops:
We finally finished the bookcase! (After many words were said in the process ... :?)
There is still a bit of work to be done around the edges and so forth, but it's essentially done.
Here's the evolution:
(with trim)
(We installed the light at the top of this photo, too. I'm only slightly terrified I did it wrong and a fire is just waiting to happen ... )
For a sense of perspective, here's a shot of the bookcase with AfroAnnnie inside:
Here it is fully loaded:
(For those curious, yes, the middle case is all Stephen King. We're only missing four, and we need to replace 11 with hardcover versions.)
(We clearly need to buy more books!)
And the finishing touch:
That is the first of many framed posters we will be putting up in the basement (and the stairwell, and the second floor, and the bedroom ...). We'll update as soon as we have money to buy the frames ... so probably not any time soon! :fp:
Hope you have enjoyed our pictures! Looking forward to a possible PJ fiesta this fall (come on East Coast tour!).
I'm so proud of kw & the amazing bookcase he built for us!
And the staining job is pretty nice too...
We were able to show off our custom built bookcase for our friends this weekend and everyone was very impressed
(is kw available for rent to build more book cases? :shifty:)

Thanks! It's good sound quality ... although the receiver produces some static on one side when messing with the volume. It's kind of annoying. :-|

Obviously. I mean, we need the bookcase done for the zombie apocalypse. What kind of animals do you think we are?
