More Progress on the Basement

This was my new pantry just after they put up the drywall.  This is an old basement room that was creepy, dark and filled with junk.  It has a tiny door and it sits up above the basement floor by about a foot.  This house was built into the mountainside and it is anything but level.
 

The room is painted as is the cement floor and the carpenters have started to install shelves.  

This shelf is going to be wider and sit at counter height so I can place my appliances on it and even use them in here if I need to.  You can see in the pics that I had the electricians place outlets all around the room.
 

The pantry should look pretty much like this when it is completed.
 

My floor is in the process of being sanded. This is the old cement floor which is wavy, cracked and also less than level. Once it is sanded, they will fill the cracks and then paint it.  I've always wanted a cement floor that I can just hose down if necessary.  I installed brass drains and i have a water faucet on the other side of that gray door so I can hook up a hose.  I don't know that I will actually ever have to hose it down but everything is in place if I need to.  And surprise surprise, my foreman quit the company last week,  great timing!  He and I have been planning and measuring and working together for 6 months and now he is gone.  I have a brand new guy coming next week.  Just shoot me now!
 

Oh, and just to remind you, this is a pic of the basement 6 months ago:
