Dan C Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 This isn't really lighting related, but I figured I show off what I've been working on for the past 6 years. I started with bare concrete walls, no framing or furring, one electrical outlet and a bunch of pull chain lights. No insulation at all. I started this project before my son was born. One week ago, I had carpet installed to officially consider it done!Come to think of it, I did install a 6 channel Lutron Grafik Eye. So in a way it is lighting control related...(I must be a lighting control freak).Now that I done spending money and time on my basement, I'll have more time for building/sequencing.

BrownOut Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You said you are done spending money? You forgot the huge flat panel TV and furniture!Looks awesome Dan- I'm jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Looks like a great place to store all your lights, controllers, extension cords, inflatables, wire frames, etc., though it probably wasn't necessary to make it that nice for just that--you must really love this hobby and prize your display items to provide such a nice storage area for them. If you are lucky, you might have a small corner left where you could put a computer desk where you could do some sequencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can take pictures and proudly display them here, along with the controllers and a few items from the actual display.He's probably got a secret button that flips those arches around to reveal the in home theater hiding behind them.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKSedg Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Wow, wow, wow. That is probably the nicest basement I have every seen. I almost singlehandedly built and remodeled my whole house, so I know what it takes. You should be very pleased. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray Augsburg Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Really nice-looking basement. Man, with all the arches, it kinda reminds me of what I envision from, say, Arabia. All you need is the alcohol and a harem . . .Wait, that requires sheik-level access.Seriously, though, nice work, Dan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
