I worked on that Mustang skid steer design for almost three months! We power that unit and I spent several months up in Madison, South Dakota working on that damn thing!

Thanks Jeff, Nik and everybody for the compliments!

Wife and kids LOVE it. We now are both feeling the need to partially finish the basement to include a 17'x52' party room with wet bar and a full bath. I've looked into the Owens Corning pre-finished basement walls. Has anyone used these? We also talked about instead of a drop ceiling or drywall ceiling, just painting the rafters black and installing track lighting. She even suggested I build a "bike room" in one corner of the basement.

We are having a huge Labor Day party here Labor Day Monday. Tons of food, beer and a splash in the pool. PM me if you are interested!!

YES!

Drop ceilings are too... "office like" although they provide GREAT access.

Drywall ceiling looks great, but then you don't have access if you ever want to run wiring or anything.

I REALLY like the look of raw floor (ceiling). Black might not be the color I'd choose... Maybe a grey or something... But it looks really cool if you spray EVERYTHING from the floor joists on up. Ductwork, wiring, everything. Maybe even a textured paint sprayed up there.

Then you'll always have access if you run new wiring for a new 'toy' (with technology you know there will be something to run) and you can always just spot-spray any place you put something new in.

I've seen some REALLY cool looking ceilings sprayed and then reflective 'crystal' type chips blown onto the wet paint. Gives a way cool look.. Kinda 'urban/classy' Almost like a sparkling white, or sparkling gray ceiling.
