Nice job. The only thing that i would definitly add is flooring. working on concerete will be brutal for your joints and also makes you get tired faster. just as an advice from a doctor. Please do it as a favor for yourself and cover it with something as example: Epoxy, foam, Parket, as general any shit that dosent involve concerete.

If I may, whenever wood is in direct contact with concrete use a sill gasket even if the wood is treated. Concrete and wood just don’t like each other. The gasket is the referee. Great call on the safe and sound. Nice shop build.

My basement is so similar to this and I wanna pull the trigger and get it done this summer. I also have to take care of the tank, furnace, sum pump, and washer/dryer. Besides that I have a few water pipes that hang lower than they should but I won't change them, it's too much work. It's a good space I can use and make it cleaner that will probably increase my home value. This is the best video I found on this topic and will be extremely helpful, thanks!

Nicely done! Only thing I can comment on, which probably is different due to your in the US and I'm in Sweden. But we never put pressure treated wood directly on concrete. In the 70s-80s allot of houses where build this way and allot of people got sick because of it. What we do is to put plastic or special "asphalt paper" that come in strips specially for it. To avoid the studs being directly in contact with the concrete. Then use normal wood (untreated) Any way thumbs up!

1. Use spray foam on the walls. You can still get condensation behind that insulation board. 2. You need a gasket for framing touching concrete to prevent capillary action. Look for sill gaskets. 3. There are some really nice injection products on the market for basement cracks. A good one will never leak again. Props to all your hard work.

Great tips thanks so much! For #2, I was under the impression that I could avoid a gasket if I used a PT sill. I guess you're right that the PT wood could get saturated, then the non-PT studs could suck up moisture. Hopefully that won't be an issue for me!

I have always liked your videos regardless of the style (your silent builds, the short documentary one, or your others) and when I just saw this one pop up I was very intrigued to see how you would edit and present this type of project. I have to say I absolutely loved this video and when you said “the room is done” I checked the video time and thought to myself, “Wait it’s already been 18 minutes? No not yet!!” because I was super in to this video and bummed it was ending. Definitely think this is one of your best videos yet in my opinion because of the super great information you gave that was neither overly technical but also still gave the viewers valuable insight into your pros and cons for decision making regarding the things like the insulation, sound proofing, deciding to do your own electrical or not, handling the water leak, and so on. Overall this was fantastic. Definitely happy the video ended on a “looking forward to getting back in and filming a project ASAP” comment. 4 months of no dk builds had me checking my KZitem notifications and hitting that refresh button like I was a crack addict and a video was only the fix I wanted. 😂

Nicely done! Even though the label specifically says not to, I painted my raw concrete floors with sealing paint. I have had some high traffic areas where it has worn off, so their label was correct. However, it's nicer to look at, easier to find dropped hardware on (if the floor isn't covered in sawdust and shavings), and bounces light around better. I also suspect that it blocks some moisture from coming through the concrete in this 1973 house. Basements need as much insulation as any other outside wall/floor. The reason is that warm, humid summer air can condense water on cool concrete surfaces. You might consider adding some insulation and a vapor barrier behind your tank if there's room.

Been following your IG on this for a while and it’s great to see it all come together. Coincidentally, I’m finishing up wiring my 17x17 basement space for 16 of those same wafer leds, in preparation for drywall next week. If mine turns out half as good as yours, I’ll be stoked. Great paint choice too. Looks very similar to a colour called ‘evening shadow’ that my wife is obsessed with. It was in every room of our old house. I’m finishing the top 2/3 of the workshop with it, and the lower 1/3 is going to be a few shades darker and bluer for contrast.

For anyone else contemplating an upgrade like this, I can HIGHLY recommend the UGL Drylock product for painting the floor and foundation interior. works well. Stops all the weeping the wall / slab might have. It's a little late now, but if you ever have to expose any of the concrete behind the walls again, paint it with this stuff before you reassemble. Regardless, you could do the floor with it now, up tot he baseboards, it would solve the finishes soaking in issue, and, you can pick a color.

I wouldn't recommend this if moisture through the concrete is an issue. Like the video states, problems should be dealt with at the source. Drylock just traps the moisture in the concrete and will deteriorate the wall faster. A sealant really should be applied from the outside wall to prevent moisture penetration.

For flooring, I’m planning on buying a number of 3/4” x 6’ x 4’ horse mats and covering the floor wall to wall. This will help keep the floor feeling warm, comfortable, and easy to clean. A Wood by Wright video from a few months ago provided inspiration. It’ll probably cost about $3-4/sqft.

Looks great. Here's a couple of thoughts along the way. Love the color on the wall. I did my garage shop in a very pale gray/green with a slightly darker trim. I find the light tint to be easier on the eyes that pure white. Had a similar issue to your oil thank with the water heater. I made a hinged pegboard wall (used barn door hinges to carry the weight) and added 3" castors at the bottom. Holds all my wrenches and clamps and swings out of the way to access the tank. Floor is bare concrete like yours but I'm thinking either LVT or those interlocking rubber floor tiles.

Thanks for the thoughts kmb! I like the hinged pegboard idea, makes use of that empty wall space! For the flooring I'm really liking foam tiles because they are _way_ cheaper than anything else I've seen. The downside is they are very lightweight so rolling tools on top of them tends to drag them around a bit which is annoying.

This looks great! I've dabbled in drywall a bit, and i hate sanding, what i've done differently is using a wet sponge to smooth out the drywall. Not sure if that would have worked best for you here, but my project was inside of the house instead of in a basement. Nice work!

Thank you Christian! Ooh that's a very interesting idea that I hadn't even considered. I might try that on my next drywall project!

very nice work. beautiful. It looks very much like mine. I am anxious to see what you do about dust. I have pretty much stopped doing woodworking in my basement due to the dust making it to every room in the house. i have a couple filters but it is just not working.

Thanks Jeff! I have a door with a door sweep on the bottom so no dust gets out into the rest of the basement. Also I have a dust collection system with an upgraded filter canister on it. If the room gets dusty, I can actually just turn on that vacuum and open the blast gates, and the air quality improves in about a minute. But, yes, without that, dust is a huge issue!

As a union carpenter since the 80's I cant see anything glaringly wrong and instead all in all you did a great job. No criticism here, just a question. Why not use metal on the framing as well? My experince is it simply s more efficient, creates less debris, requires no special tools, and certainly from what I recognise as an adequate skill set. Also I have to agree, Ben is a great example of a remarkable finisher. Nice job thanks for sharing!

Wow thank you Joe, confirmation that I didn't totally botch the job from someone with your expertise means a lot! As for metal framing, honestly I just didn't even think of using it as I've never used it before. It almost certainly would have been a better choice especially with lumber prices the way they were when I bought the studs.

Metal are great for easy wiring too but definitely could have also put the wall studs at 24" centres and saved a few bucks, $10 each is madness!!

A good job well done. looking forward to your inspirational projects. Nothing is first time perfect, but you sure have a good layout. I might have thought of installing the dust extractor motor above the oil tank - just to save/use space. Not sure if that a doer though.

Damn somehow building the dust extractor into the enclosed oil tank space is something I didn't even think about for one second. That would have been a great idea... damnit! Maybe I'll work on that in the future. Thanks for sharing Danny!
