I had to tear down the shelving installed to the studs you see mounted on the concrete walls in this picture. At first I thought those studs were going to be problematic, but I think they ended up creating a nice air barrier between my frame and the concrete. Regardless, they eliminated the need to deal with the concrete "nubs" that stick out everywhere in the basement.
This doorway was already framed, although there was nothing on the left side. I will have to frame that small 2' part.
Shelfless.
Existing studs were "blasted" into the concrete walls using one of those "guns" you load with a charge, then strike with a hammer.
This is one of the "pre-hung" walls. I will simply add outlets then finish the drywall.
Quality grade Lowe's lumber.
Couldn't find 3" interior screws! :-) Rather than nailing the framework I used screws.
Treated 2"x4" on the floor.
That "gun" thing for sinking the nails is so cool!!!
East wall (13.5')
Corner and South wall (8.5')
Angled doorway.
Had to stick some cross bracing in...
Uh...I think STEPH taught Preston how to hammer nails. I am not going to take credit for this.
Tacked down the electric. Because I had the 1.5" gap between the wall and the frame I simply ran the wire BEHIND my frame rather than drill holes...
...added some insulation...
...and put up some 4mil plastic. Now its time to hang the drywall.
Spider Pig, Spider Pig. Does whatever a spider pig does. Can he swing, from a web? No he can't, he's just a pig. Look out, he is a spider pig.
DriCore was a "snap." (Bad pun, but the 2x2 interlocking tiles are the way to go in a small room like this.) So issues cutting and fitting in the last and/or corner pieces but only took a few hours to complete.
Steph's room, therefore the color is...wait for it...PURPLE! Go figure. Semigloss lavender, will dry a bit deeper.
Guess that really doesn't help you figure out the color any...
