From Leaky Basement Dungeon to Dream Workshop | Finishing a Basement Space

I converted a leaky unfinished basement dungeon into a fully finished space to be my new workshop. By doing all of the work myself, I was able to complete this project single handedly for a tiny fraction of what it would cost to hire professionals to do it.
This project involved framing, insulating, soundproofing the ceiling with a variety of different techniques, doing electrical for lighting and outlets, hanging and mudding drywall, installing trim, and painting. In total it took me about two months of mostly working on weekends to complete. The room is about 320 square feet with 7 feet ceilings.
