1) Hydraulic cement may work. Or if this is an active water source, you 'll have better luck with a polyurethane or epoxy injection repair. These are the preferred systems used by many new home builders. 2) Watertite by Zinsser can be tinted, so you don't need to paint twice.

I would also consult with your local AHJ to determine the code requirements for various uses of the new basement rooms. It looks like you have good headroom (usually the finished ceiling must be at least 80 inches high), but don't have egress windows. This means it can probably be used as a basement family room or office, but not be a bedroom (that requires an egress window or door). In most areas you will be required to pull a permit, and comply with applicable codes to finish a basement. If you want to make your life as simple as possible, list the use as basement storage, which has the simplest code requirements. For example, most AHJs now require AFCI circuit breakers for receptacles in all living areas, but may only require GFCI for a basement. When they inspected my basement "storage area" and found it had 14 receptacles, prewire for TV and audio in two locations, and in-wall wiring for 5.1 speakers, it was not a problem. They first looked at all the framing and insulation, and later at the A/C wiring/receptacles just to make sure the receptacles were wiring correctly. The only side comment was "lots of wiring for just a storage area." Bruce

Hi Kelly, the back wall is concrete and the left wall is new, as it was a wide open space. we put up the walls and mudded the drywall. we than added horizontal boatds along the back. i painted the entire room including floors and basboard Bone Black BM. I am not a great photograher and when the right side of the laundry is complete ill shoot another oic! :)

The framing was there before and if we put drywall in as is some rooms will be closed off and we want it to be more open. Right now the basement is divided in 2 sides coming down the stairs with 2 doors on each sides as well. Also I guess we don’t know where we should put the bar, living room, and gym, ect…thank you for your input!
