Time to lay some pipe!! (That's what she said)

I realize the title of the blog contains "the do it yourself basement". Some of it I can't do myself, so get over it. We are now entering the "pay someone who knows what they are doing" portion of the project. This is phase one of the new half bathroom. To answer your question, no, there was not an earthquake when I took the photo and no, Michael J. Fox did not take this (yeah, I went there). I was in a hurry and this is the only shot I took. You get the idea. Seriously, if you really need a crystal clear photo of a pipe in a pile of mud you need to get a life.

Is it Beer Thirty yet????

Does it look like it's beer thirty yet? Geez, settle down you drunk! As you can see, the framing is complete on the bar, and there is even one level of bar top on! Or as I like to call it "The @#*& expensive wood" Wrong measurements and cuts that are bound to happen will now be a costly good time. Remember to tip your bartender, he built this bar that your drink slides off of.

The Boarding Penalty

When I started the Boards, the idea was to put paneling on the front that looked like an actual board, with the screws showing and all that. And that's what I did. It looked awesome. Then 3 days later it bowed like a mofo. Minor penalty to me for not knowing what I'm doing. We had to pull all the paneling off which ripped the drywall to shreds. 3 panels of drywall and some awesome plaster work later this is where we are at. I will just paint this a glossy white and it will still look damn good. No, you still can't hip check anyone into it.
