I started up again, and have begun to tackle the next biggest room opposite the exercise room, just past the a/v room. I'd already stripped everything back, apart from the walk-in closet wall that I ripped down as I'll re-frame that into something smaller. Most of the work now is dealing with the lack of space, as everything I was using to work on the basement was/is housed in that room.

| Quick look at the blank concrete ready for some rigid foam. |
I'll be following the same standard used on all the previous rooms - rigid 1" foam glued to the concrete, then 2x4" walls framed in front. The only tricky bit will be figuring out where to frame in a closet, and how to frame around a gas line that runs below the upstairs floor joists.

| Right of the door is where the walk in closet used to live. |

| Foam all done. |
Framing has been put in place on one wall - I built it in place this time, gluing and screwing down the bottom pressure treated plate to the concrete, then marking where the top plate would go (using a plum-bob to make sure the wall would be level), then nailing in the wall studs.
