Framing is done, dealing with some moisture issues I didn't expect. Pretty sure I'm going to owe my brother a steak dinner after he came over and told me I was doing the vapor barrier wrong. Good learning curve though. Hopefully drywalling starts next weekend if I can figure out my schedule.
Moisture issues in a basement renovation are no joke. I'd probably owe my wife something nice too after she found out about unexpected problems. You figuring out where the moisture is coming from or bringing in a specialist?
Moisture in basements is no joke, but sounds like you're handling it smart by getting your brother involved. That steak dinner is well earned!
Week 3 and framing done is solid progress. The moisture stuff sucks but better to catch it now than after drywall goes up. You got this!
This is why I stick to smaller projects. Basements are a whole different beast. Hang in there though, sounds like you're making progress despite the curveballs.

Week 3 and already dealing with moisture is pretty common honestly. The framing looks good at least. Make sure you're waterproofing properly before you close it up or you'll regret it later.
