This home was caught off guard by Hurricane Irene. The renters we're in Atlanta and the property got about 6" of water which stood on the floor for about 4 days. It wound up being a gut down to the studs and some walls being removed.
We framed up exterior walls, new insulation, drywall, paint, trim, doors and door jambs and carpet. We also installed a crown molding to finish the ceiling (as usual).
We also stripped the utility room floor and put a epoxy painted finish on. Although this home was stricken with damage from the hurricane, we restored this basement back to a comfortable, warm living area.
Wow, how amazing the result is. It's like a brand new basement, never been damage. What are the new insulation types you have implemented here?
ReplyDeleteNothing fancy. The walls were framed with 1x3's and plasterboard hung on them. So we yanked the framework and put in new 2x4 framing with pressure treated double bottom plates. There was no insulation in the walls before so we added some R-19 and a vapor barrier. We also had an electrician come and run six new outlets.
