I blogged a while back about a basement remodel I worked on for a couple of months, but never posted a picture of the final product because I kept forgetting to take my camera with me.  Well, I finally got an opportunity to get back over there the other day, and this time I took my camera.  This room was like a dungeon that contained nothing but piled up junk.  Now it is a “Man Cave” with a bar, 65” TV and surround sound system.

During all the rain in September, the customer’s ground got so saturated that water started coming into the basement through a cinder block wall.  To show how much rain he actually got, the customer has lived there for 30 years and the basement has never flooded.  Fortunately, the water only got into the front half, soaking the carpet and baseboard trim.  All the custom cabinetry I built is located at the rear of the room and was not affected.  After running a dehumidifier for about a week, it was dry enough to put the trim and carpet back in place.

The square bookcase out in the room is a wrap around, four-sided bookcase, that hides a 4″ diameter pole.  The stone wall was a bare cinder block wall that we covered with stone veneer.
