Got my basement done this weekend for **Dec 21**
All my kids live in cities and my goal was to get my basement redone for them in case TSHTF on the 21st (started the project at the end of Oct). It now sleeps 6 people comfortably with 2 double sz futons and a double bed in the bedroom. I also re-did the bathroom with a new toilet, shower, mirror and lighting.

We did the majority of the basement with knotty pine.

Here are the pictures I took today. Just a few more things to buy to finish it up this week and put up some pictures.

Enjoy!

Thanks! It's not very big obviously so I got creative trying to get it as comfortable as I could for both sleeping and a sitting room. I sure got a good deal on those futons, 435 a piece at JYSK. They're really comfortable! thumbs

I now have 4 futons in the house, 2 down and 2 up, call me the futon queen, love them!

Would have been better off spending that cash on weapons, food, ammo and supplies. Who gives a flying shit about knotty pine when they bring your house down on your head. If you are bugging in you need to be in a fortified defendable space, not stuck below deck trapped like a rat in its hole. How are you planning on successfully defending that position OP? I would simply torch your house trapping you and let it collapse on you. You probably have one way out and would be easily picked when trying to get out. Congrats though, it a deally place to be burried in.

 Quoting: LilOleMe


Sure did, with graph paper, each square as a foot and figured out where everything would go. Still have a laundry room and prep room with goods on the other side of the pine feature wall.

Should've used that money to flee the country, see: War with Iran.

But it looks good though. Hope it doubles as a fallout shelter for nuclear destruction.

Well you did a smart thing, sort of. Seeing as how nothing willhappen , all the asthetic work wont go to waste. Youll have plenty of time to enjoy your newly remodeled fun room.

I sense you probably dont believe in it too much. Otherwise you eould have spent the labor and funding to equip with things that will be essential to sustaining a decent life. Generators/fuel, food/water, clothing/blankets&sleeping bags, tools/weapons.

I have all that stuff plus....room for more people is what I didn't have here at the lake. Most people come here in the summer and sleep in tents in our back yard.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27180401


Just a couple of pics I took during the reno's but the ceiling was almost done. I'll up load them.

Our house was built in 1974, so the basement was done with concrete, it only has 3 small windows, 2 in the bedroom and 1 in the laundry room. The basement is almost completely below ground because back then they didn't have codes to follow. You can get out of the bedroom windows if need be, we did put new windows in it.

As far as the insulation, it's the rolls of fiberglass pink stuff. LOL

Here's a pic during the reno. It used to be a dark burgundy.
