I've spent the whole summer renovating this room.

Beneath the TV will be a mantle and a fireplace eventually. The town requires a permit for that though, blah, blah blah. I just tought I'd share it nearing completion. Couch comes on Saturday, and then some minor stuff and it will be done minus the fireplace.

It's a pretty sweet place to watch the Gmen destory people.

nice

my house has been a construction site since I bought it in Aug. ’07. I mean ripping down walls and everything. Put a bar in the basement, on one side, just now finishing the other side… I have drylok on my hands as I type this!

My tips: 1. Paint that back wall Giants blue, 2. Glue the painted baseboard trim so you don’t have to putty & repaint the finishing nail holes, 3. Think about a pellet insert for that slot, it’ll heat your home, it’s clean & doesn’t need to be exhaust piped over the roofline, cheaper than oil, easy to maintain. Or a propane fireplace… impress the chicks with pushbutton fire

Inset

Going with a natural gas inset that will be viewable on both sides. There is another equal sized room behind the TV wall. Going to leave it flush on the TV side and build it into the other room with a mantle and vent it to the roof. Only requires a 5" vent. Then do some built in shelves around the bump out.

Basement is last on my list. After the wedding, the kitchen is next spring. Probably start on my March break and finish around Easter.

Looks good

Now, if you can figure out a way to have a fridge and shitter close by, you’ll be in business.

Fridge is nearby

Shitter is a lil farther away.

There will be a beer fridge about 10 feet from the TV. :)

you should get one of those things

they use at the bank to get your deposit from the drive-thru, the vacuum-suction tube. Retro-fit your fridge to load beer cans/bottles like shotgun shells so you can push a button and up the tube it goes directly to your chair
