Basement Project: Camping Storage Closet




Yes, we have such an abundance of outdoors equipment that it needs it's own storage closet.  
Our first basement project:  We started by pulling down the aging ceiling drywall, then used closed cell 1 inch foam on the floor followed by 1/2 inch plywood subfloor.  Then we insulated the outside wall with more foam and Roxul.  C. framed out the closet and we drywalled it, she mudded and sanded it and I primed and painted it.  We had leftover vinyl tiles from our old house kitchen reno that we used in the closet, but laid them like ceramic tiles with spacers and "grout".  I LOVE this closet!   

Updates and Randoms



The summer has been busy with work (lots) and play (little).  Here's a more recent photo of our growing garden.  Also, C built an ingenious frame that attaches to the car roof rack so that we can buy whole sheets of drywall and transport it ourselves.
