Tim Plains Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Don't mind all the junk, it's still under construction... Should have the whole basement finished in about two weeks. I thought I'd show you guys how it's coming along. I'll post pics periodically when any real progress is made. Two shots, from either end of the room. It's 23' x 13', I believe. This room will have just my guitars, amps, computer & a few bar stools. That cut out in the one wall would be where a second fireplace would go but I don't want fire anywhere near my guitars. lol I'm putting shelves there for cables, pedals, books, etc. The amps will likely go against the wall where the window is. Lookin' forward to it!!
Thundergod Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks great Tim, love the floor's color. What are you planning for the walls?
deepblue Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks good Timbo! Dont inhale too much drywall.
Tim Plains Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 ^ but I like drywall. lol Thunder - white, off-white, beige, something like that. Haven't really decided yet. Dave - no bar. dem00n - the wife said no.
Silverbursted Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Very nice Timmy. Are you going to set up for recording too?
ledzep59 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 You should have made the floor from Brazilian rosewood
KSG_Standard Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks nice Tim! Why did you go with a drop ceiling vs. sheet rock? What's the flooring?
Thundergod Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Tim, what about having the gibson logo embeded in the floor?
fortcon Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Dude... wicked jealous over here. And I like the logo idea, if they'll let you use it.
Tim Plains Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Are you going to set up for recording too? No' date=' it's just a play room. :) Looks nice Tim! Why did you go with a drop ceiling vs. sheet rock? What's the flooring? The whole basement is like that. The contractor recommended it - easy access in case there's ever a maintenance issue. Flooring is laminate, obviously. Colour is Wild Oak. You should have made the floor from Brazilian rosewood I thought it was. I paid for Brazilian. Tim' date=' what about having the gibson logo embeded in the floor?[/quote]Nah, what if we ever sell the house and the next owner loves Fender?
Big Bill Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Tim, this room looks like it's going to be sweet! It's sure beats the 4th bedroom I using as a music room. Please keep us posted on the progress. :)
TommyK Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Stripper poll? dem00n - the wife said no. Yup, she said he broke the last one.
surfpup Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Lookin' good, Tim! Yours is bigger than mine. :D I got electric, insulation and some drywall today. HVAC going in tomorrow.
Duende Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Hi Tim From this acorn will grow a great oak!! Matt
DAS44 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Awesome man.... your wife's not going to be seein much of you is she?
eldiablo Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Really Really nice... I think your music room is bigger than my apartment :D
aymeric22 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 So... more pics (espacially of the chest...) ?
Hector Arcadius Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Awesome man....your wife's not going to be seein much of you is she? that's the whole idea DAS! Way to go man! It beats mine...!
daveinspain Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Hey Tim, just noticed... I don't see very many electrical outlets on the walls in you music room.... If you think you are going to need 25 put 50.... You can never have to many electric plus in the walls.... It sucks when you have to run extension cables all over the place.
Tim Plains Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Dave, there's an outlet every 12 ft. More than enough for my needs. Other than my 5 amps, which will run through a power bar, I just need one plug for my computer. I think your music room is bigger than my apartment Didn't you know - it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it...
daveinspain Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Trust me, you will need more. One outlet every 12 feet?? Not nearly enough... What happens when you get some more toys or want to record or friends come over to jam.... At least do a couple or 6 or 12 outlet bars nicely recessed in the wall where your amps are going to go.... Now is the time to do it. Tim, seriously you can never have too many electric sockets. If they are there and you don't use them no big deal. If they are not there and you need them it sucks... You start cluttering up your nice music room with extention chords and quad boxes.
EVOL! Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Are Nine - that space is ace. Makes me jealous. Would love to do something like that in my basement, but the neighbors are way too close and my ceiling is only about seven feet. Mine would need to have my drum kit as well. Where you at in the Great White North? How far are the closest neighbors?
Tim Plains Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Dave, I saw your music room pictures and I see where you're coming from. I have a Monster power bar with 12 outlets on it. All my amps will run off that. My computer will run from another outlet. That still leaves 7 or 8 other outlets that I have and don't plan on using. evol, I have neighbors...I'm not that rich. lol I'd say my neighbor's house is around 7 metres away. I'm just outside Toronto.
