Looks great, nice work.
Too bad homeowner's sometimes do things, or make decisions, that can make a perfect 10.0 job...... into a 9.5 job.

I agree, good job!
What kills it for me, is that "red dog" neon sign power source cord!

I assume that was not a bearing wall???? Never seen a basement before, (being born and raised on West Coast), but I would have thought there aren't a lot of non bearing walls in them..
Also, what did you do with that vent pipe?

Nice work! In this case, I would have done the patch for free and make that a picture you could show prospective customers.
Looks like a fun job

At least he 'mitered' the corner with that power cord. 
Nice looking work there. Congrats.

Nice work. How are the two corner shelves mounted? I don't see any runners.

Your right there, I should've finished the patch, it really wasn't a question of money though...He wanted to feel usefull I guess.
As to those corner shelves... you got me... he installed those too, after I was finshed...They looked to me to be those "shelf in a bag" deals.
