the basement is my winter project. i started on it to get my fish tank up and running and kind just worked on it here and there after that last winter. the entire basement was rewired because how they had it was a fire hazard. 16 new can lights and a few rolls of wire 11 new oulets 8 new switches.
these are the pictures from when we bought the house. painted drop ceiling and painted wood paneling done very shotty a long time ago.

at this point we put the project on hold because of the water issue. we had a few things to work on outside and inside to help with the water issue. see here http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83069 and here http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87585
with our water issue fixed we got back into the basement project to get it finished this winter.
DRYLOC on the wall that had the biggest water issue just in case.
