I am going through my photos and am in the process of documenting our basement buildout this year. We started the year with an unfinished space full of junk and my woodworking shop. We built a workshop outside the house for my woodworking and for my wife who is a painter and makes stained glass. In its place, we put in a home brewery, bar, bathroom, guest room, home theater, desk area, rec room, exercise room and lots of storage. We designed the space ourselves and assisted the contractor with the buildout. In this thread, I will post pictures of the construction process. All the finished pics are in the thread in my signature. Sorry for all the pics - but when I was researching my build - the pics made ALL the difference to me!

Had to jack hammer the floor for the bath and the brewery to install floor drains and move some plumbing.
