Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4154184, member: 1026"] We did our half-basement (other half is garage) just before the pandemic and it has been a lifesaver. Had to remove ducts & HVAC & lost central air in downstairs but split system unit covers fine. Paid a local handyman about 15K which was 10K less than GCs. LVT floor, hard ceiling, lots of panels or doors for furnace, plumbing & electrical but all hidden & looks great & very functional for kids or man cave. No running water don't miss it at all, no bathroom = teenagers can't hide forever, full size fridge. Best home improvement ever, wish we'd had time $ to add on a deck (in my view 2nd best home improvement narrowly beating new kitchens) before lumber prices skyrocketed. [/QUOTE]
