Just lookin' out for you, but sounds like you've considered the pros and cons for your particular situation.
By the way, you probably know that a sanding sponge can be used to eliminate/minimize the dust generated by normal sanding. I hate sanding too!5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect.

Looks good Ricardo! You did a pretty good job for an engineer!;) I hear you about the drywall work. It helps if you have a friend or someone with those plaster skills. Are you going to get some Day-Glo paint and some black lights?:D Put up some posters of Janis Joplin and Iron Butterfly. Turn on the Electric Prunes music and light up a . . . . :eek: nevermind. I'm still stuck in the early '70's.Carl

Ok; here goes an update.
I painted the ceilings and put some crown moldings; I had a very hard time with the tapered edges...didn't think I would (Yes...I'm stubborn....). It looks really good though, and what you see is effect of the flash; in normal light it looks pretty uniform.
So....I decided to mud the walls; just enough to cover screws/edges, but without the need of sanding. I also built the sump pump enclosure and the "dummy" on the other side. I will make the covers with plywood and stain to match the speakers.
Next step: flooring and base board, then paint the walls. I'm using the same laminate I used for the rest of the basement....but I don't have enough, and the finish was discontinued, so I bough a lighter one and will have to combine them. Should look good.....
Not sure I'll finish on target; this weekend is Chicagofest :cool: :cool: :cool:_________________________________________________

Ricardo, you might have had a hard time with the tapered edges if your walls aren't straight;)
Seriously, looks good! I liked those corner blocks because you don't have to do the compound cut on the molding. A little caulking cleans up everything nice:)

Ricardo,
looking good my man. you are making me want that wood, you know wood!!!
I seem to be having a union labor issue on my new woodshed, so feel free to drive on down if you work for beer!!!!
Did you buy your green glue local or internet supply???

You're going to totally hate yourself for putting down the floor before you painted
But at least you won't have to do quarter round in addition to the baseboards.Gallo Ref 3.1 : Bryston 4b SST : Musical fidelity CD Pre : VPI HW-19

But that was not in the final poll picks. How did you have time after Chicagofest '07 and recover from it. LOL

The only reason I am doing it this way is that I'm using textured paint; putting the base board over textured paint would be a pain...I'd rather tape the BB and put up lots of plastic film to cover the floor_________________________________________________

Looks great
Putting up laminate flooring is VERY easy; this room had only a couple of tricky cuts, so I spent maybe 3 hours total._________________________________________________
