Basement Paints

The contractors finished the band room Friday, so Sunday we started painting. Basically forever, I have wanted to paint a room with some interesting designs, instead of your average solid-color walls. Finally I had the chance to do that with this room. My friends and bandmates helped out, with everyone kind of taking ownership of a wall or section. We are almost finished and had a lot of fun doing it. Here are some pictures of the progress.

Update!/Songs in My Head

Holy smokes! It's been a while since I've posted, eh? Sorry to keep you waiting. News on the basement: it's almost done. Well, almost done being constructed. Then there is the furniture, flooring and painting (not in that order). I've started painting one room already, and I'll post some pictures soon. I enlisted the guys in my band to help me out (since it will be the Band room), and we're doing lots of interesting designs and things instead of your standard solid-color walls. I was up until 2:00 a.m. last night working on a mini-masterpiece on one section of wall.

We listened to some Husker Du, Megadeth, and defunct local punk band Oblivion while painting on Sunday, and busted out some Superchunk last night. But for some reason the song in my head right now is "F.M." by Steely Dan. I take a lot of heat from my wife for guiltily digging the Dan and Fleetwood Mac and some of that smooth 70's rock. I can't help it. The polished hooks just sink right in.

Anyway, look for some more basement photos soon.

Basement Progress Photos

Some people were asking about the progress on my basement remodeling. Again, I must admit that I have done NONE of the work, other than clear out all the crap that was down there before the contractors began. Below are some photos.
