Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Update (this update is more related to the "under the garage space")

Slight hiccup in funding since I decided to spend my "finish the basement" money on a shiny car a couple months ago. We are back on track now..

Here's a pic of the gym yesterday morning, the cabinets are waiting to be installed in Mrs. Utah's command center (scrapbooking, gift wrapping room) and the gym equipment is half put together.

When I got home from work yesterday, this is what it looked like.

Before all the lunkheads start making fun of all the cardio equipment, I still have a squat rack, bench press, leg press and coupl of other pieces of equipment coming. We wanted to get this stuff in first to see how it fit. Still wating for the electritian to come back and put in the ceiling fans, and install the TV on the wall.

For the women. Pics of Mrs Utah's command center

She's got speakers wired in there, tv hook up, wrapping paper rollers, ribbon hangers, all kindsa room for scrapbooking fluff.

Major points for me :D

Oh.. and I can't forget the gratuitus garage pic.

(still not finished with the diamond plating, I have some crown molding I need to put up)

Bet I can guess who you're voting for to be our next president..........

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Looks great! Are the walls wallpapered or faux finished? Are there uplights in the coffer around the tops of the walls?

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Amazing, Outstanding, Beautiful!!!!!!! I don't know what else to say except tell you how jealous I am:bowdown::thumbup::beer:

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Faux finished. My friend is a fantastic painter and painted the entire project for me.

I loathe wallpaper.

Why is that?:headscrat

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

No offense, but it appears that you're alot closer to McCain's "middle class" than Obama's. More power to ya though, you've obviously made your way well, something to be proud of these days.

Awesome build, I've enjoyed watching it take shape...........:beer:

utah997, you may have already posted about it, but could you elaborate about the "window"? My house has a basement bedroom with no windows. I often wondered about how to pipe some sunlight to it.

Nice space! I'm envious.

For the women. Pics of Mrs Utah's command center Women? there are women here? thought this was the ultimate guy site

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

It might be....but what do you say to a women that loves to work in a garage? :thumbup:

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Hand me that 9/16 box end

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Thanks for the update, Utah. Things look like they are coming together nicely. I really enjoy looking at the details, you are obviously a kindred spirit in the detail freak dept., LOL.
That paintwork is really slick, my wife has a plan to try some of that in her sewing room as a project next spring.

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

technically your basement bedroom is illegal unless you have an exterior door in it...all bedrooms must have an egress window big enough to escape from. Basically its just a deeper window well than you normally put for smaller basement windows

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

I think your basement window is fine. Here in Utah you do not need an exterior door out of a bedroom. Although it would be wise to put a rebar type ladder on the window well in case of emergency! Your Garage "Bunker" is awesome!

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

i wasnt replying to the utah about his setup...his is more than ample and its not a bedroom anyway, i was replying to printer mikes post about his basement bedroom that lacks a window

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Sorry I should have read further. I apologize!

Re: The "Bunker" garage is almost complete!
 

Well, I have watched this build with nothing but envy.
They dont allow basements in buildings in my state,but its been very interesting to dream about.
Thanks mate:beer:
