How much would it cost to finish a basement?
Q. I just bought a house and was wondering if someone has a rough idea how much I'd have to spend finishing a basement. I already have a toilet and everything in the basement. It's not too big. About the size of a large living room and a big bedroom - sorry, don't know the dimensions yet. I wanted to either put a carpet or titles so the kids can have a bi playroom. It's just an idea. Thanks guys!
A. We spent $1500 for good-quality basement wall-to-wall carpeting (and liner) for about a 20' x 20' area of floor plus steps to the first floor. We use the area for our exercise equipment. Our new sump pump, plus backup safety and battery (which we got after learning the hard way that, just because the basement of your 11 yo home has never flooded before doesn't mean it won't flood if there's a big storm and the power goes out) cost $650. My husband did some nice overhead lighting, plus he partitioned off a wall and put in 2 louvered french doors to separate off the storage area for I think about $400. We'll ultimately put in a ceiling.
You can, of course, do it much less expensively. But the critical factor to keep in mind about a basement living area is, "Is it inviting?" If it's not inviting, then you and your family won't use it. Speaking for myself, carpeting was a must--tile would have been too cold and too hard for my tastes, especially since I'm most comfortable being barefoot.

What were on your bedroom walls when you were a teen?
Q. Or if you are a teen right now, what are on your walls?
Just curious.
Just curious.
A. New Kids posters and my footprints cut out of construction paper that lead up my wall and walked around my light in the ceiling. I also painted an entire mural of people. It was awesome. My parents were so mad..lol But I got to keep it that way.
How to prevent chandelier from rattling?
Q. Our chandelier in the dining room rattles when someone walks in the bedroom above the chandelier. Is there a way to dampen the rattling or is there a bigger problem with the ceiling that we don't know about?
A. A little of both.......weak floor system and probably no support for the light fixture electrical box. It's nice if the carpenter puts blocking behind any electrical boxes that are going to carry fans and heavy fixtures. It's easy to do if you have an attic......but if your between floors like you it's not so simple. Good luck........ask someone to take a look for you. Hope it helps. Loose fans are dangerous, I'm surprised more little kids aren't hurt by them.
