Sanded the drywall in the bathroom and did one coat of primer/sealer on Monday. Put a second coat of primer/sealer just in the bathroom today. That room will get it's topcoat next week.
The ceilings in the poker/TV room, hallway and office are done.
Went with Benjamin Moore Waterborne ceiling paint. Great stuff. A bit pricey though.
Day light only pic.
The soffit side and column will be the Silver Drop wall paint. Thought about painting soffit bottom the same color as the walls but decided to use the ceiling paint instead. Just more work cutting in now.

Testing fitting a baffle trim this morning. Bought one to make sure they will fit nice before I buy 20 of them.
Since my connection for the granite counter top fell through, I decided to get a Formica brand laminate counter top with a bullnoze edge made for $185. I picked this Brazillan Brown Granite laminate. Then I will do a light grey tile back-splash.
Counter top sample chip next to wall paint color.

coming along nicely... yayyyy
Tommy, any chance you're going to put up signs? I wish I'd done this earlier, but I suppose I didn't really have, or know which signs I'd hang...
One of my buddies came over this weekend to help with some electrical... He spent like 2 hours running electrical outlets for my game room neons... No more ugly cords hanging down to the floor level outlets. Huge shout out to Frank!!! No one complained about the old elec cords dangling... But wow, what a difference now I don't have them fugly black cords dangling down.

Looks great man! I'm in the same boat as you were. Right now I don't have any signs, but may get a Heineken sign down the road. I will have to do what you did after the fact and fish a line down to the receptacle below and cut in an old work box.

Some pics from today. I was working on installing the outlets and testing the speaker mounts while my dad was making and test fitting the window sills.
Just got done putting a coat of primer on them.

I'm hoping to have a get together by then end of year.
I found out yesterday that my ceiling registers and return air grills that I bought from Amazon were on that FedEx truck that crashed into the bus in California last week. RIP to all who died in that freak accident.

Thanks. So tonight I was working on installing the last few receptacles and the power bridge for the TV.
I must of had a brain fart when I installed a low voltage bracket for the power bridge outlet. I realized it after I connected the receptacle and was pushing the wires back in the wall. Lol.
Tomorrow I'll go pick up an old work box and replace it.

Keeping an eye on the humidity levels. Was high yesterday because we had the basement windows open.
Slowly coming back down to a safe level. I like it around 45% to 50%
I might pick up a dehumidifier for extra protection.

The other end of the power bridge.
The large square hole next to it gets this connection center.

Scrap piece of coax will be used to help bring the HDMI and Cat 6 cable down from the TV.
Water meter closet, office door, and bathroom door (can't see it in this pic) are all installed and trimmed. Don't mind the black marks on the bi-fold door jam. Was from using the 6ft level when installing the door jam. All the door jams, doors, and moldings still need to be painted. I have a tons of nails hole to fill in and some small gaps to caulk.
Door under the steps installed and trimmed. Still have to cut in a door vent. The baseboard in the pic has not been installed yet.
This baseboard has been installed. We are keeping it 1/4" off the floor.

Wiring up the patch panel.
Still have to tidy up the cables.
Hole cut for vent. Baseboard is not installed yet there. Waiting to put in the wet bar flooring first.

<sigh> I would love to have my house wired with ethernet. Very jealous. As it is, there are a few places where I'm running it along the baseboards. Yeah, wireless is fine for some things, but for others, nothing beats cat5e or cat6.
