Basement Reno -- todays' progress...

The big-picture aim for today was getting the ceiling frame in place... but a few other things happened along the way...

Making sure we maintain the basements drainage features, by not blocking the flow of water to the drain -- I used the circular saw at a height that was just above the concrete floor to cut this section of the frame out to allow the water to flow underneath -- thanks for the reminder J:

Getting the bi-fold door-frame in place:

Last time around, Matt and I learnt the hard way about framing... this time around, the frame has been designed to have the drywall attached -- notice the two 2x4s making the corner + the 1x2s on-top of the base-frame which will allow easy attachment of the drywall, which won't go all-the-way to the floor to prevent possible water damage:

And here is the ceiling frame... ready for drywall tomorrow...

Although the trickiest part of the ceiling fame is yet to be done... I have a creative solution in mind -- tomorrows job too...

You both always continue to amaze me, so talented in so many things and good at documenting it. I hope to be able to see it in person sometime.
