Cleaning The Basement To Make A Room

Yesterday was a busy day! I spent most of the day down in the basement clearing out junk so I can start building a bedroom down there for Chris and his girlfriend to live.

Some time this week I will buy the lumber and supplies and start building. The room will be approx. 20'x 15' plenty of room for them to live comfortably. I can't believe all the junk that was down there.

Halfway through cleaning I needed a break, and the weather was so nice with the temp around 10C and sunny, So I went for a quick bike ride. I finished cleaning after my ride, now all I have to do Is get my building supplies and get to work!


This is the area for the bedroom I will build.


Reverse view.
I'll run one wall alone the side of the stairs and across the room where the basement wall juts out, then back down and around. The door to enter the room will be on this side of the stairs.

This is what's on the other side of my basement looks like now. We will be cleaning that up this week to, so everything is organized, and throw out the junk we've accumulated over the years. My garage is already half full from the junk we took up from the other side. Then when everything is cleaned up of the junk and organized, I will then take most of the junk from the garage to the dump, and keep the good junk that will be sold in a garage sale we will have next month.
