Man cave remodeling (2 Viewers)

[Leadmen]

Due to a water pipe breaking in my basement. I was forced into making change and repair. With the carpet flooded and other major work in cleaning up it was time to make changes.

Work in process, but I am seeing the light. Only thing is I made my man cave a little too nice which is being watched on what goes back downstairs. John

Water main break in the foundation wall into the basement. Why could it not break 6 inches on the outside.

This was my old work area and mess with a big six foot desk that I did not need.

After water clean-up the tear down started on panelling. I might as well add foam insulation and new wiring with more circuits and new lights.

Taking off trim and walls.

Pink foam board between studs. Insulation will help in the winter. I would prefer to use the foam board and chainsaw for dioramas.

My neighbor Jim (ex paratrooper) helped me cut up the big desk with a reciprocating saw. Six wheel barrel's full to get to the dump.

Old work area. This is not a CSI crime scene but someone spilled a tin of HUMBROL RED on the chair and carpet.

More of my Humbrol spill. Call the environmental clean-up.

New lighter oak panelling and my old kitchen which was put downstairs for my work area. I did not install ceilings because they double your taxes on the property because they say it is more "living space". Go Figure.

Wow that is certainly a nice large space! When you get it done so may never

be seen outside again!

Especially during the winter!

Keep us posted on your adventure!

My Grandson is a good helper and really worked the shop vacuum emptying water.
