At the beginning of the year, we cleaned up the basement and moved the workout equipment in there, turning it into a useable space. The exposed insulation on the exterior walls posed a problem though, so it wasn’t really used after all. At the time we remodeled the kitchen, we also had an electrician add 5 additional outlets to the basement workout room (there was only 1 before!) And then during the last two weeks, sheetrock has gone up and has been mudded.
Next, we need to sand and paint, but the room is useable for exercising, now that the insulation has been blocked off! I’ll be moving my treadmill from the office (on the 2nd floor) into the new workout room soon. Well, I shouldn’t say “I” because I won’t be the one doing the heavy lifting.
It should be interesting to see how this workout room develops aesthetically. There has been talk of a decorating theme: Marvel comic superheroes. Yes. Specifically, the Hulk and Wolverine were mentioned. Oh, and Godzilla.
Do you have a space to workout at home? Or a place where you display your superhero gear?
