About 4 feet above the ground there was a pressure regulator, and then another valve where it split off to go to the sprinklers. I moved all this about 10 feet around the corner. Here's the finished product:
With that out of the way, I can really get started! The wall with the water pipe was the longest wall, so I decided to start there. First I picked up a couple truckloads of 2x4's from Home Depot and fed them into the basement through a window well. I nailed the base plate to the concrete slab with a powder actuated nailer. Then out came the framing nailer which I got for a steal (along with 4 other nailers) at the Lowe's black friday sale. After some cutting and measuring and nailing (not necessarily in that order), I finished my very first wall!
Gina and Vanessa helped me lift it into place. A few more nails, and voila!
Because of the expansive soil in Colorado, code requires that walls be "floating". So the walls are suspended from the ceiling. Notice the space between the base plate and the sill plate.
