This was my Christmas Vacation, 2005
The framing, wall insulation and Dricore floor are done. I still have to run the 2x3 stringers for the ceiling. I have to run those before I can install the recessed lights and low voltage boxes.
The ceiling will also be insulated. We also insulated all of the plumbing— this accomplished a couple of things: a) it keeps condensation from forming in a tight space where it wouldn’t have formed in an open space; and b) we get hot water sooner in our master bathroom, which is at the farthest part of the house from the water heater.
This photo was taken from the other corner of the room. You can see I still have to do the framing around the steel support beam running lengthwise down my house, as well as the ceiling above the bar.
The framing for the bar is started. Instead of using traditional cabinet construction to build it, I decided to build a dressed pony wall to make it more solid and so that I could put conduit through it.
I drilled through the studs so I could drive conduit through the studs for power for the stereo and video equipment, under counter power/lights and small refrigerator.
The framing for the media rack in the bar is almost in place and a lot of the low-voltage wiring is in place, running up the near support pole. The framing for the ceiling above the bar is done and ready for insulation.
The two steel support poles will be hidden inside boxed wooden columns that will be part of the bar’s design. The white wastewater pipe above the ceiling is rather noisy, but once insulated, will become silent.
