Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted here (or even logged in). I figured I'd start to add some updates, as I'm in the middle of a basement/house remodel. I've got another baby on the way, my fourth, due tomorrow actually.
What I'm doing:
-Removing all carpeting in house
-Installing laminate flooring in four bedrooms and the finished portion of the basement
-Adding a new bedroom to the finished portion of the basement
-Repainting four bedrooms and the entire finished portion of the basement
-Doing some electrical work (new receptacles, additional lighting, tracts for hidden HDMI cables, etc.)
-Remove popcorn ceiling in basement
-Installing faux copper ceiling tiles above the bar area
-Putting brick around bar area
-Installing oak pillars around the bar area
-Adding microwave and additional shelving underneath bar tap system
-Replacing broken keezer
I won't bore you guys with the non-bar stuff, but here are some pictures of what I'm doing with the bar. Priority was on finishing my kids' rooms renovations and adding the new room into the basement. Now that that's done, I'm able to concentrate on sprucing up the bar.
The copper ceiling so far
The brick resting behind the taps, just to give an idea of what it will look like
What it looks like right now in the current state of construction
The compressor on my keezer (which is behind the wall of the tap system in the unfinished portion of my basement) quit working last year, and my taps have gone unused for far too long. In fact, I haven't even been brewing in about a year. Once I get the ceiling and brick done in the bar, I'll be getting the tap system up and running. I'm debating between buying another chest freezer and putting a collar on it, or buying a compressor and building a small refrigerated room...
With the baby due any time, I'm not sure how quickly my build pace will be, but I'll try to post updates as I make progress.
