Started working on the unfinished half of the basement so I can display my stuff. First I got a couple loads of wood and borrowed a bunch of power tools. Then I started on the one inside wall as it already had the 2x4 framing there. Before After, still needs some finishing work.

The one outside wall before. I got the frame work going up and am working on the outlets. Want some at floor level for pumps and some up higher for a globe shelf. I think the pumps and signs will look good with the wood siding background. I got most of my ideas and help from my brothers. I plan on having a sign hanging party this weekend, more pictures in a few days.

Wes, Wish I had known you were looking for wood. Yours looks like 1 x 6/7 beadboard t&g in sy pine. I have 100 boards 1 x 7 x 16 feet tg in sy pine that I don't need. Could have made you a deal. Good luck with your project.

I got most of the siding up, it came out pretty good in my opinion. A couple things may get adjusted later on. Couple more pictures of the walls. I even chopped a hole in a perfectly good door to put in a doggie door.

Also starting to set the signs out close to the area where I want to hang them. Gas pump alley. The one pump is wired for lights, the others need some work yet. Oil and kerosene section

Looks much better than the usual sheet rock used to finish basements with.
