Basement Renovation



We have affiliate links inside this recap.  

Watch out Chip and Joanna, the Proctor team is coming one room at a time.  When we were house hunting a basement was a must, it didn't need to be finished we just needed one.  The house we bought had a huge one, broken into two parts.  We had a plan and it was the first thing we started when we moved in.  Unfortunately, we came across a major water problem, that put a halt on the work inside and we moved outside.  We put in curtain drains and we resealed two of the outside walls the front right and right side when looking at the house.  This was also done between Tim working his job and running his business.  Full plate without a doubt.

  • dark room ripped out for a half bath
  • 3 closets went back in against back wall (two storage/toy and utility)
  • all new electrical lines, plumbing lines and cable lines were put in the ceiling beams. 
  • playhouse built under stairs

Materials:
  • vinyl plank peel and stick floor but we also glued it. Grey Ember from Traffic Master through Home Depot. 
  • whole house filter 
  • cedar shingles for the playhouse
A playroom is born.  I have always envisioned a playroom for the kids t have all their toys. A TV for the video games and this room being about to grow with them; from kids to tween to teen hang out.  We were able to start from scratch and add our own touches.  Outlets are everywhere, we even added them to the support beams we then built out.  Recessed lighting was another must for us, so they can fade or be off for movie nights plus two sections, TV and toy side.  Even the playhouse has a light.

Basements are not always essential for building construction, but they can offer many benefits. In some cases, building a basement may be required due to zoning or building codes, while in other cases, it may be a personal choice.

Here are some reasons why a basement can be important for building construction:

Additional living space: A basement can provide additional living space for a home, which can be especially valuable in smaller homes. This additional space can be used for bedrooms, a home theater, an exercise room, or a playroom for children.

Storage space: A basement can also be used for storage, which can be particularly helpful in homes without a garage or attic. A basement can provide a convenient and accessible location to store items such as holiday decorations, tools, and seasonal clothing.

Energy efficiency: A basement can help improve a home's energy efficiency by providing an extra layer of insulation between the living space and the ground. This can help regulate the temperature in the home and reduce heating and cooling costs.

Home resale value: Adding a basement to a home can also increase its resale value. A finished basement can be an attractive selling point for potential buyers and can help the home stand out in a competitive market.

Every homeowner determines that they need some extra space at some point or another. Where can they find an additional room? Remodeling a basement can be challenging. Cluttered, gloomy, and chilly basements often encourage homeowners to focus on other remodeling tasks. My Home Handyman offers full home renovation needs, from the paint to the permits.
