Drywall Finishing and Carpet Removal

The layout space is becoming better defined now that the drywall is finished.  I also removed the carpet from the floor in this area.  It was very thoroughly glued to the concrete so there will need to be some scraping and sanding to smooth the surface.  Currently, the plan is to leave the floor bare as I build the benchwork, but eventually I will remove the carpet in the rest of the basement and put down interlocking rubber flooring mats.  Since the rest of the basement is a play/workout space, the mats will be a good cushioned surface that is easily cleaned and can be replaced as needed.
