Inspectors came through and flagged our basement utility room for non-insulation. It sits below the kitchen, so they told us to either insulate the basement walls or ceiling to separate the livable from non-livable space. By framing and insulating the concrete foundation walls, our livable square footage increases. Nicer still is that the utility room now has a more defined 'indoor' feel to it. We opted against insulating the ceiling because there's a little too much mechanical stuff between the joists to cover over.
The crew re-plumbed, framed and insulated this wall in just a few hours this morning. Quite impressive.
Disregard the vile blue-green post and its easter-purple concrete base. Those aren't anything we can't banish with a bit of paint.
In the far corner we'll have the utility sink. Moving left along the wall we'll have the washer and dryer. The side access door to the driveway is off to the left of the photo. Off the right of the photo is the mechanical room and past that the basement bedroom/office/movie space.
