So I have two big interests, Sports and Games. I bought a house a few years ago and have slowly been chipping away at things, and recently got started on the basement.
Has potential right?

Looking better (floor looks better anyway)

Bluwood. Stop the mold. Note the 26 Ethernet drops I also installed.

Slap up some walls and floors. This is where the retro gaming will happen.

And the 50" Panasonic Plasma. Nothing older than a dreamcast gets hooked up to this.

And the systems waiting to be hooked up.

That's it for now, hopefully will have more when it's complete.

Looks nice! I've never heard of that Bluwood stuff. Sounds useful, to say the least.

I haven't heard of it either.
Is Bluwood to lumbar as green board is to drywall?

Looking good so far! :)

Sorta.
It typically goes Standard Lumber -> Bluwood -> Pink Wood.
Bluwood is moister/mold resistant. Pink Wood adds fire resistance (it will still burn, just takes longer to do so).

"Never heard of it.... Sounds good though"
ROFL, too funny! :D

Um, he explains its use in his original post, so I was capable of forming an opinion about its usefulness.

Its a Canadian product, but id imagine something similar is available in the USA. A bit more expensive than pressure treated, but safe and non toxic for use indoors. Not super common, but for a few extra hundred bucks, why not?

Yeah, definitely.

Oh don't mind Wiggy the Hut ::) The only person he wants to punch in the face is the Earthbound lady who gave him his nickname =) He's as nice as a pie!

"A few hundred extra bucks"? What does that mean? Paycheck to paycheck over here. I have to save for a while just to get ONE hundred bucks. Must be nice....

Considering the cost of finishing a basement, even on your own, a few hundred extra dollars isn't that much (I'm assuming he meant a few extra hundred in total).

Exactly. When we're talking about several thousand dollars to get everything finished, a few hundred dollars is not much relatively.

Do you have any problems with flooding in your basement there?
I had slight seepage from water draining against my foundation, but I've regraded and got new eavestroughs and downspouts so no problems in a couple years now.
