well ive pretty much got that part of the basement all framed out..

Something interesting i found and thought i would share..my cold air returns were not sealed at all in any way shape or form.. they basically just punched a hole in the interior brick and ran it into the joists.. basically my cold air returns are sucking air from outside when the furnace is on and letting cold in when its not running..

Red brick is exterior brick. then there is the inner brick and then the plaster walls..
