Thank you for the offer! My sister found a site that sells all of those IKEA parts, so I went that route. They shipped today USPS Priority, so hopefully they'll be here quickly.

No basement grand opening scheduled yet, but I'll let you know.

I kind of figured she would solve your problem, one way or another. My offer was genuine, though.

Just a few more bathroom pics now that the faucet is in, mirror is up, and light is up.

I'm afraid my A/V receiver may be on the way out. It's suddenly taking a lot longer for it to output audio. I don't think it's anything else in the chain since 1) it happens on both my PC and PS3, and 2) my mains are powered by the ADA-1500, so if it was that or the LFR1100 DSP, the surround speakers would start playing before the mains. I may have to get a new unit sooner than planned. Grr.

Thanks, Fred. I still need to clean it up and add a few more things, of course, but I'm happy enough with how it's shaping up.

I like that vanity a lot. My wife has asked me if we could have speakers in our bathroom, just been too lazy to do anything about it.

I like the vanity cabinet, too, but with the premium price paid for it, we were hoping for a better design. The drawers aren't full extension, we prefer the soft-close function on the IKEA cabinets, the wall-mounting hardware made for extra work, and we had to place spacers under the front of the sink portion so it would effectively drain. You'd think they would have had it slope to the drain to begin with.

Here's an image just to show we did something this weekend:



This is the range hood we spent more on than the stove/oven itself, and that's after it was discounted. Our ducting to the outside unfortunately has three 90-degree bends, and everything you read says to avoid any sharp bends. I guess we'll find out how effective it is. We really didn't have any other options, and that's what the outfit we hired figured out for us.

The bathroom is pretty much done, with just some caulking left to do, and then a couple more ceiling tiles to cut to fit. The washer and dryer may be problematic if we stick with normal ones. Does anyone have experience with the stacked or stackables? If I can get them under 71 inches, that would be great, but a little taller would work, too, if we pull it away from the wall a little more. Otherwise, we'll have a tight fit for opening the doors. It's doable, just tight. My dad had an extra dryer, which I planned on using, so we placed it there to find out how claustrophobic it makes it. In any case, if any of you can shed light on the stackables, I'm all ears.

Cleaned a little bit out, too, so it's slowly starting to resemble a habitable space.

Installed a bike rack in what seemed like the best spot, behind the dining area. You can see I'll be using a picnic table as my dining table. That's actually two separate units. Lifetime brand outdoor benches purchased from Costco with backs that flip down to become tables. They seemed like a good idea for when I want to clear the floor a bit and have more seating. Like I'll ever throw a party after the one I throw for you guys.

Besides the bike rack and some more tidying, we switched out the fixed shower head in the bath for a hand sprayer.

It's looking like tomorrow we'll tackle the shelving for all of my books, Blu-rays, DVDs, video games, etc. I'm going to stay cheap and simply use the standard adjustable shelving which my dad already has a lot of extra hardware for, and we'll just go pick up as many melamine shelf boards as we need. Here's hoping they have enough of whatever color we prefer that are in acceptable condition.
