Before Pictures

Ok, here's what I was promising. The before shots.

The first picture is from the top step looking down. You can tell it's a mess already.







This next shot is at the bottom of the stairs turning the corner into the "workout" area. Not shown is the pile of hockey equipment at my feet. This area will still be a workout area but it will be nice!

Still in the workout area, the beam and posts separate the two rooms. The idea here is two walls enclosing the posts on each side with an archway between them. I'm not going to put a door in, no real point in it.




Still in the workout room, a view from the other side of the room.





Inside the pub room looking back towards the furnace, washing machine, etc. The water softener (blue box with black lid on the left) marks the extent of the pub room. The goal here is to make the room big enough for a pool table but yet leave enough unfinished area for storage, etc.

This next photo shows the area under the stairs. This will become storage and will be closed off with a door. The far right edge of the stairs is where the pub room wall will end. You can see we'll need some place to store our suitcases!


This last photo shows the view from where the door from the pub room to the unfinished section will be looking back towards the workout room. I sure hope I can fit a pool table down here...




Stay tuned for more pictures as cleanup begins next week.
