I got the most of the holes from the blown-in insulation pluged and half the ceiling textured over the weekend. What a PITA. I just want to start the stairs but I don't want to worry about getting paint and texture on the new stairs.

I have one half of the room finished. I will be moving all the furniture to that side so I can get the other side finished.
It is textured, painted, and has new outlets,HVAC grills, and phone/cable jack.

Here are some updated basement pics:


Here is what the railing on the main level looks like now:


Next weekend I will be moving the support post, etc. so I can widen the stair by about 6"

Wife does now and again. It's an 1876 american made (blanking on make) upright that is restored with all new strings, hammers, and a humidifier.

I think the TV is from the same era as that piano. Hehe j/k. I just cannot imagine being without my HDTVs. I may be a little more obsessed with TV and video games than most people though, lol.

That TV is only from the early 90s, lol. I wish I had a nice new HDTV, I'd like to get a 46". Try convincing the wife though.

My name is tut, and I am a fellow tv addict. Tv's are super-cheap nowadays. I remember paying like 1500-1800 for my 51" years back...now, they're half that-
one and one makes two, together we are free

To me super cheap is under $50. $800 is a hell of a lot of money when your broke. Old tube TV's are free and easy to come by.
