I don't have a basement. I built my own 2200 sq ft house. Just me and the wife. 1/3 of my house is a custom kitchen. 24 x 24 with two center islands

Duh, so his wife can't set it on fire trying to smoke him out while he's locked himself in. Originally Posted by LexusGS

Wrong there. First I live in Baja Calif which is part of Mexico. Mexico doesn't have wood down here. So they pay a 33% import charge to have lumber shipped here. A 2 x 4 x 8 stud cost $4.85 down here. Blocks are .65 each making it cheaper do build in blocks verses wood.

I like the cinder block approach. Like building a fortress. Concrete and Iron seem s appropriate for a gym

It's not finished you dumbfuck. It still needs the remaining blocks put up, 6 - 4 x 4 windows, 2 sliding glass doors, a roof, stucco and then paint. Whats you weight room look like. A garage with half it filled with Green Tea!

After leaving my first wife for a younger lady, she ended up with half my retirement. it was the only place I could live without going back to work.

Yes I'll do that myself. I have 4 mexican workers working for me laying the blocks. This whole room will cost me a total of about $6k. Not bad for a 36 x 24 room. Hell I have more then that in gym equipment. My dumbells cost $2100 and only go to 100 lbs in increments of 5.
