Everyone's daughters would be locked up in their bedrooms.

At your age?

I realized we were talking YOUNG daughters, so it was best that I delete it!

Good to see you take the high road. I too have to practice restraint of tongue and pen (keyboard???) on this matter and its hard as hell sometimes.

My daughters (twins) are only 2.5 years old... but you all have me scared !&$#less.

OK. It has been a little while since I updated. I have been drywalling like crazy and it is still taking forever. I am almost to the "home stretch" before the home theater... I really should be able to crank out the last few sheets/pieces of drywall for the entire basement, minus the home theater, tonight. (Disclaimer: there are 2 larger pieces that won't go up until the home theater is done) Then the fun begins and more updates start to flow about the part of the basement that everyone really will want to see.

I will try to get a quick (as in short) video up tonight or tomorrow night with a quick (again, short) walk-through of the space. It is a lot easier to get a feel for it with the drywall up.

I will just need to hang the door for the theater and secure the projector mounting "board" to the ceiling before I can drywall in there. I am putting the door up so that I can get my drywall as close to the door frame as possible. That was recommended by the soundproofing folks. I hate hanging doors, but at least it is just one for now.

Well, I got a lot done, however, as I was looking at the closet in the bathroom, I decided that I wanted to use a narrower door so that it looked a little better, that meant tearing down a little of the drywall, running to the home improvement store to get a 2x4 and some 1x4 pieces, coming back home, cutting it all and putting it up, and then starting the rest of the drywall. It looks a lot better, but it definitely slowed down progress. I got a bunch of little crap done, and one large piece. All that is left are some 4-5 inch wide strips along a few soffits, a 12" wide piece on side of the beam that we moved last fall, and a couple of 4.5" wide pieces where the new drywall meets with the existing stuff from the stairs. After that, it is done. Probably 2-3 hours tops (it always takes longer than is seems like it should). So with my busy schedule tomorrow night, that means Friday night I should be ready for a new video.

Stay tuned...

Sounds like progress. I've been making some progress myself but it still feels like there is an infinite amount of things yet to do.

I can't believe how much patience you have! God bless you! After pulling cable and cutting dry wall for two weeks, I was ready to call it quits!
