You can also replace one carpet tile if you get a nasty stain too.
Another good point. I’m pretty sure we are going with these.

I think that's the ones Bignick went with and they look really good in his room! You won't be disappointed! Now, on spreading the pressure sensitive adhesive, use a 1/4" nap paint roller on a stick and it will apply like a dream...Damn a trowel! Ask me how I know... lolAnother good point. I’m pretty sure we are going with these.

Haven't been following but now interested to go back and read more! Couple thoughts .... I would go ahead and insulate / drywall the ceiling now because you will need to install a light and its a bitch to work around the light and table later on. Carpet tiles are great, I don't recommend the double sided tape installation method. Glue down is best but don't use too much. If the glue seeps up through the seams it will get dirty and you will have black glue marks. I used a cheapie paint brush and just used the glue on the perimeter of each tile. Worked great! Look forward to more completion pics!
Order a sample of those. The ones with the cream color stain hella bad with just regular traffic. Black and grey will hide everything better.Another good point. I’m pretty sure we are going with these.

I’ve never used carpet tiles. A positive is that with a deadline and some unforeseen happening, they could be positioned and dried laid. Then the tiles glued down where the table will be placed and the rest lifted.
Re the ceiling. I have a finished basement. I sound insulated, dry walled, etc 2 rooms. A couple years later I finished another room and sprayed the ceiling
white...I actually like the look. I thought the joists m etc would look ‘so so’ but actually classy looking and I prefer it to the finished drywall.

I ended up using the Midnight color.
And let the glue dry for a bit so you can peel them up later if one gets ruined. If you put them down right after applying glue they stay stuck forever, lol. And 8cree is right, I troweled and it was much more time consuming than the rollers
That room is gonna be badass sir!!!

Two of the best table mechanics in the area if not the country. Both are extremely knowledgeable and wizards when it comes to working on these tables. Bob, the owner of Drexeline wouldn’t let anyone else touch his tables except those two. Save yourself a lot of time and headaches and go with one of those two guys.

You were rolling on this project before I could comment, walls up, deadline etc.
Best subfloor I ever came across.
100% waterproof with the grooves underneath.
I built my walls on top of it.
I solved ALL former water problems.
But I recently had a dehumidifier problem.
Floor paid for itself. (Problem flowed underneath thankfully) I see you have a walkout basement but you never know.
At least make it a point to get a catch pan under those HW heaters and pipe them to a drain.
Good luck!
Maybe others can benefit from this.
Did mine in 2013. Stuff was new then.
1000% better than the wood types.
That is pretty standard code now. They also will want the pressure relief valve outlet piped outside or into a drain. I went through this not long ago on Water Heaters mounted away from exterior walls. Another solution is a safety device called a leak stop . It requires 120 V AC and usually has a battery back up. It has a sensor for the ground and a valve on the inlet pipe to Water Heaters. It your tank pops it senses the water on the floor and shuts off the flow of water into the tank.. 40-50 gallons of water vs 100's.................You were rolling on this project before I could comment, walls up, deadline etc.

Doing great runout1961!! The progress you have made is amazing!
I am a contractor. I used the carpet tiles in my basement office because of some occasional water infiltration. I carefully fit all the tiles tightly and did not use any glue. When any water gets in I just life the tiles and dry the floor and the tiles out and put them back in place. I don't know if certain tiles NEED glue but I have had not issue with the method I used on my tiles.Thanks man. I appreciate that. Running out of time. Deadline is getting close.
