I just thought I'd post some pictures now that the basement is mostly gutted.



This first pic shows the view from the bottom of the stairwell entrance. The far wall is where my screen and front speakers will be.



The second pic shows the stairwell entrance.


The third pic shows the left wall that the first pic didn't show, but that wall is actually being moved 32" further to the left, into the bedroom.



The fourth pic is just showing more of where the bedroom is. The bathroom is behind the wall with the TV on it.





The sixth pic shows the window they cut for the bedroom.



Just another shot of the bedroom.



This last shot shows the corner where my kitchen area will be.

Also, does anyone have experience with horizontal water heaters? It seems like they're out there, and having one would help us save space in the bathroom. I'm just curious about any drawbacks.

And of course I'm open to suggestions on anything, since I still have so many directions I could go on most of the details.

Hey! Where's the gator pit?

Behind the secret wall that hides the Regina Shrine.

And/or Regina, once he gets close enough to her.

I thought the shackles were just decorative?

Win.

Woot. Another reno project.
I know nothing of heaters I'm afraid.

We use a wall-hung water heater - is that what you mean? The Baxi Luna, I think it's called. It's really small and hangs . . . uh . . . on the wall, as you may have guessed.

Could be. The first one in my search was actually ceiling-hung, but maybe I'll find more options by searching for wall-hung units. You can see the ledge that runs around most of the perimeter. It would simply be handier to stuff the water heater up into that space than keep it taking up floor space. How do you like your wall-hung?
