Next room on the list

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.
