Storage Room/Utility closet

So this weekend it rained pretty good, and thought to myself, well, i cant do any work outside, lets see what I can do inside. So I decided to work on the basement.
I got about 2 hours of work done, before I actaully ran out of 2x4s which was a bummer, because I was in the middle of completing a small walk in closet which I will show you pictures of.

First off, I worked on the frame/door way of the storage room. As you remember, I framed up the other half last week, so this week, i wanted to finish this end, so that I have that room mostly complete.



So the above picture is standing next to the washer and dryer, looking at the new wall. I am putting in a 36 inch door there, in case i need to bring anything out or in, like the washer and dryer. Then you can see past it, is the walk out for the basement.

The picture above is where I am looking from the outside in for the storage room. It actually didn't take too long, as I had figured out what mostly to do when working on the previous door way.


The picture above, on the right side, I am building a small walk in closet for the breaker box and the water main. I thought about just building a smaller closet just for the breaker box, and a small box around the water main switch, but if you notice on top, i didn't want to move where the water main pipes were going, so I just built around it.



Here, you can see its incomplete due to lack of wood, and if it weren't raining, i would have gotten more wood, but i didn't want to go anywhere in the down pooring rain.
I think if i get 45 more 2x4s I should be good, and be able to complete the framing of my basement.
What do you all think of that?
