So I'm Down In The Basement

[BGKYSmoker]

Down there we have a drain, plugs all over hot/cold water, 220v and Im doing some measuring to put in a SS sink and SS table. My wife comes down says are you going to have room? For what I say. She said I just bought you a 22 cu ft standing freezer.......Whaaaaa. I heard Jamie telling you he has some venison for you.

Yes on that wall opposite from where im going to put stuff.

I better get busy

So awesome! Now getting it IN the basement.....do you have a side door? Or will it have to come down the stairs?

That size is still fairly compact as far as getting down steps and through doorways.
Now violate code and wire that with a dedicated circuit and NO GFCI or AFCI

Nice! I have an 18 cu ft upright in the garage and it holds quite a bit. 22 should keep you more than well stocked. I'm jealous of the basement... haven't lived in a house with one since I was a kid.

Oh yeah easy to get to the basement for delivery and setup.

We do have stairs from the house to the basement.


Basement doors in garage.

The people who owned the house way back he was a wood worker and mechanic. The whole garage and basement are wired, 110 and 220. Since we have been here we have not had any water down here, so im going to seal and paint the walls. (but never say never) My SIL had all new AC/Heat pump put in with new ducting, weird how they just suspended the ducts.


Going in between the ac duct and cabinet. I might take the cabinets down.
The stairs to the house are to the left of this pic. There are 3 other rooms down here, looks like may have been food storage.

Opposite wall, like how they painted around the cabinet they had there.

Im not sure I'd ever leave the basement. Looks like a great setup.

Kilz makes a good block sealer / paint all in one . Advertised at low odor , but they all smell in my opinion .
Match the roller cover to the product and work surface .
I always state the obvious for this stuff , just in case .
Great potential down there .
2 things that really helped my shop area .
Dedicated power in multiple locations , and a roll around work table .

Looks like you are all set Rick. I like the garage entry.

We painted the walls of our basement with Drylock. There was old water staining when we moved in but nothing came through the drylock in the 10 years we lived there. Rolled it on, iirc we did two coats. Also did a great job brightening up the space.
