Basement Storage Room Newark DE

The basement storage room project is coming along nicely. I recently wrote a couple of posts, Finished Basement - Step 1 Insulation and Basement Framing and Insulation Update, about how to properly insulate a concrete foundation wall in a basement. Now that the walls are insulated I've started finishing off our new storage room.

The basement storage room project is coming along nicely. I recently wrote a couple of posts, Finished Basement - Step 1 Insulation and Basement Framing and Insulation Update, about how to properly insulate a concrete foundation wall in a basement. Now that the walls are insulated I've started finishing off our new storage room. I've decided to put 1/4" luan on the walls and ceiling in this room to keep the costs and labor to a minimum. Plus the room really is only for storage so it's not like it needs to be super nice. One MAJOR disclaimer though is about using the luan in this application. The fiberglass insulation is kraft faced and it really should be protected against fire with drywall. However, seeing this is a storage room and I have no real source of fire I'm willing to take the risk.
For this project I'm planning on building two sets of 24" deep shelves along two of the walls. Along at least one of the other walls I'll build some book shelves for the hundreds of books my wife and I have accumulated. The shelves are pretty simple. I'm using a 2x3 along the wall and front edge of the shelves. I've used 1/2" cdx plywood for the shelf and a 2x4 vertical column support at mid-span.

As you can see I've also divided up the wall height into thirds which gives me about 30 inches between each level of shelving. This room should give us most of the storage we need for items which we use seasonally. For long term storage we have a full attic in the new house that we can store things in.
