Nice work. The opening you made is good and it seems like you are working hard towards it. Looking forward to see full finished project pictures.

What a great job you did on your shop/garage.
I am amazed on how you put everything together!

Like a lot of old car projects I have been neglecting this for most of the summer...
I managed to get back into steadily working on it again...
I passed the electrical close-in inspection on 10/17/18. Only needed to install a single GFI at the first receptacle on the circuit to pass.
Also installed the entire circuit for both garage door openers.
I have all of the lighting circuit completed in the basement in 1" PVC. It will allow for (6) 4' LED lights to be installed on the bottom of the metal pan decking. 6 lights for a 12x40 storage space 9' 6" high should be plenty.

I've been chipping away trying to complete small projects that don't have a huge cost impact.
Where the basement windows are at ground level I decided I wanted to make bars for them so they couldn't be broken into.
I fabbed the bars up last year from 1 1/2" box at the top and bottom with 3/4" box at the sides.
I installed 3/4" solid bar stock 5" on center drilling the top and bottom bars and then assembling everything and welding it together. Finally got primer and paint on them for installation behind the basement windows. I still need to install the PVC Trim around the window frames but there sure isn't much daylight left when you get off of work at 4:00...

Since I can work inside I started installing the trim around the inside of the garage windows...the balance will need to be completed once the drywall is finished and painted...
Managed to finally get a basement door...Paint on the inside is finished...once its dry I'll spray the outside and install it.
Completed the down spout for the SWM system to capture the water from the back side of the garage roof...
I have a mason coming Saturday to install the brick at the 3' 6" high openings beside the garage doors...

I have 2" Z Furring and 2" rigid insulation to install in the 3 exterior walls in the basement...
The sooner I can get that completed the sooner I can get into building the panel for the in floor heating and sorting out what I want to use for a heat source...The pex is in the concrete ready to go with 4 zones...
Leaning towards a propane tankless water heater...I have no access to natural gas on my road...

I started installing the Z furring and the R-13 Thermax foil face insulation in the basement. runaway
I ripped down 2x6's into (2) 2" strips and tap con-d them in around the window and door openings so I have a substrate for trim...
It's really time consuming when your doing the framing, insulation and electrical all at the same time...But it's also one and done...

The west wall is finished minus going back and taping the seams...
This wall will have plywood attached and become the area where everything for the radiant in floor heating will be attached.
On to the back wall where I also need to incorporate the electric boxes and pipe...everything is 1" PVC with 12 gauge wire set up for a 20 amp circuit.

About the time I get to the back door I'm looking at this and thinking maybe I don't want to install anything on the face of the framing after taping the insulation... work
It's very reflective and actually brightens everything up a lot...
I used the sheets laying down in a full 4' x 10' length and installed the first one on a Z furring channel at the floor and the second sheet against the bottom of the steel beams. This created a chase in the wall that allowed for the PVC pipe for electrical to be installed in.
Once insulated and taped it is the finished product.

I managed to get the opposite end (last one) basement window and the security bars installed this evening.
I also installed some blocking inside where I'm putting in an overhead rack for long items and something to anchor the stand up shelving back to the wall.
I also blocked out for the 220 power for the Air Compressor. I'm going to surface mount the power for it so I can add a liquid tight pigtail in the future...
Supposed to be nice yet tomorrow...I may try to get outside and install the PVC trim on the basement windows while I still have daylight... rant

West elevation window is 100% complete... boogie
The PVC trim is a little harder to work with but makes for a nice finished product without any painting...
One down one to go...The trim for the east is cut...should be able to install it tomorrow night...pending no rain...

You have to worry about break-ins out in the woods where you are???
Looking good. I personally would have treated the wood where it comes in contact with the block. I know the feeling well of time consumption when doing everything yourself. Keep plugging away and soon it will be done.

The blocking for the top and bottom of the windows was a piece of pressure treated 2x6 leftover from the porch handrail framing so it should be good...
As for the bars...They put a prison in about 2 miles from me about 15 years ago...They're right...the guys are locked up and don't cause any problems...but some of the trash they bring with them does...

The mason came Friday and installed the brick at the front elevations between the doors and at both ends... up

I'm still working on the basement...since the space is kind of tight I decided to install some overhead "racking" to have a place to store extra long construction items...siding...soffit...trim and the like...

The racking system has two boards that are tap con'd into the wall with two levels of storage above...The first section is 34" wide and will store things up to 8' long...The second section is 20" wide and can store things up to 14' long...

I also finished the insulation at the south and east wall and added it the electrical piping for the compressor...along with the trim inside the basement window sill...

One of the two shelving units I have I got painted and installed...once its dry enough I can move everything over from the second one and then spray and install it also...

I began building the wood racking for all of the totes I have parts in for the 4 different cars...
In a 10 foot span I can put 6 of the larger totes at the bottom and then there is room for 7 of the smaller totes on the 4 rows above plus maybe 4 more at the top between the beams...

No more stacking them on top of each other and having to move them all to look in one...

Nice progress, as always. Love all the details!

Thx Shooz...
Progress is slow but always moving forward.
I got the basement door hung and an interior latch installed.
Still need to install the panic bar...
The mortar at the brick in front is almost dried out and has turned lighter...
All of the framing for the shelving is complete...plywood should go on tonight...

The electric for the basement receptacles is tied into the panel upstairs and all of the plugs and covers are installed...
Basically everything on the east elevation is pretty complete...
I have one 8' x 8' section of insulation to finish and then tape everything on the west end and I can install the plywood for the in floor radiant heating system...

Working Friday night and Saturday I was able to get a few things buttoned up...
Plywood is completed where the shelving for the totes is...
I finished all of the plywood on the west wall and installed the last piece of 2" insulation and taped all of the seams...

I permanently installed two of the lights and swapped the tubes out for the LED tubes.
These are just the cheap 4' tube fixtures from Lowe's at about 28.00 each with GE LED tubes added...I shot a ceiling clip to the metal pan deck and used 3 links of the chain included with the fixtures and bolted them up...Just plugged them in and they're finished...If ever needed I can unbolt them and swap them out in the future if anything happens...
