Basement Casino Build : Before & After
So i finally got it (mostly) done. (Is a project like this ever really “done”?)
The basement casino is open for business.
Breif history:
When we moved into the house, there was nothing down there. Just a big open box with the concrete foundation walls on all sides. Staircase coming down in the middle, furnace & water heater on one side, laundry washer & dryer on the other.
This last spring, I, with the help of my dear ol’ pop, put up drywall walls to create some rooms. Walled off a furnace room, and also a laundry room.
These photos were taken Sept 25, 2006.
I posted those, so you can see what has happened in a very short time span, considering it’s only been one mere mortal working on it.
So, without any further ado, chadd’s new basement casino:
Welcome to the k2 Lounge!
New Bottle shelves (added Nov 22 2006)
Beer Tap (added july 2007)
Entertainment center
Home Theater PC (added march 2008)
Jukebox (added april 2008)
Random shots
There’s still a lot to do. Need more art on the walls, need to add kegerator behind the bar [update: wall beer tap added], add a sink behind the bar, add a couple bookshelves, trim out the drywall, start/finish the downstairs bathroom in the laundry room. Should keep me occupied for a while.
In the meantime, it’s done enough to be usable, my own little piece of Vegas in my basement. And, after the first party we had down there last week, I think it will work out well. But, i think i might have to initiate taking a rake from the poker table, or else i’m going to have to send back that volcano for the front yard and the flamingos for the back.
