This includes decking materials for the floor, wooden slats for ceilings and possibly accent walls, stonework for features like the bar and fireplace surround, and built-in elements like the bar counter, bench seating, shelves, and media cabinet. Electrical wiring for lighting, ceiling fans, and the TV needs to be completed during this stage.
