It all looks good! You're making major progress on everything down there, hope you can get some of it sold off to condense it even more.

Looks great Dan! I like all the fans you installed (to actually use) in your shop - good choices!

Since I've been working on the rest of the basement, I'm also going to work on the one finished room. This will involve cleaning, painting, new lights and new fans. Here is one of the new fans: You maybe can see the 38" Verandah in the background. It's coming down, it hangs too low. If I can find another close mount canopy I will hang a second Lasko. If not I am open to suggestions.

Somewhat unrelated: The flywheel finally gave out on the fan in my parents' kitchen. My temporary replacement is this:

It replaced this: Which will be back up as soon as I can find a flywheel. If I cant, we'll have to discuss other white 42" options.

Shop fans are working out great. So far it's just the one Lasko in the finished room.
And to anyone else who has an unfinished basement they actually use for more than rarely-accessed-storage, I HIGHLY recommend installing fluorescent lights in the same manner I did. I cant explain the difference it makes-- once you try it for yourself you will see. It actually makes the rooms seem MUCH MUCH larger. It was quite possibly the best project I ever did.

I wish my shop was CLOSE to being that big. Mine is only a table and a shelf.

I love it. I'd make part of it a hang-out space if it were mine, and I'd probably end up putting up a lot of mood lighting, like big-bulb Christmas light strings up between the joists.

Ironically I had Christmas lights up before the "remodel". I like the current lighting. It's very bright, but pleasant.

This is one of those times I wish houses in Texas had basements. I'd have so much more workshop space! Also wished my garage hadn't been sheetrocked. Having the studs exposed makes it way easier to hang/fasten stuff to them.
