    My wife and I have saved up and wanted to start soon. The biggest problem I have is all the crap I have in the basement. There's no way we could finish it without having a huge sale/bonfire.

    Sigh.

We'll see how that works out, but in the meantime, I want to keep planning to finish mine.
    Here is someone I have used for several Basement Finishes; he offers a Build-Your-Own-Basement Plan. Excellent work & you can do as much of it as you want and maybe save some $$$.

    Cool idea. Not for me, but it might be helpful for anyone else who sees this thread. I would like to do it all myself, because I already have the skills and most of the tools.

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    I mostly want to learn more about the permit process and everything else I need to consider before I start. I'm still in the planning stages, so I'm looking for neat ideas too. Right now I have the potential walls laid out on the concrete floor with masking tape while I decide if that's exactly what we want or not.

    Sorry I wasn't clear about that. I have the construction knowledge and most of the tools, but I've never undertaken a project this big before on my own, so I'm soaking everything up like a sponge.
