Dude, I am loving this basement series! Super informative for a similar project I am taking on. I look forward to each time a new video is coming out. Keep up the great work man!

Thanks! Glad it's helping you out. Look forward to hearing about your project too!

Cool was waiting for this!

Our permits in my area are only good for 6 months before they expire. If you get an inspection it’s good for another 6, I’m going to use dricore subfloor (it’s channeled rigid foam attached to osb for floor insulation and allows air flow) in combination with rigid foam wall insulation. Going to try and do that and frame without a permit that way I can take my time and not be rushed for inspection. Then pull permit and have electrical plumbing and framing inspected.

That's really smart. I almost did the channeled sub-floor but my basement is bone dry and has been tested multiple times. That said, 100% with you on the permits. I am waiting until I'm further along to get it all inspected.

@@ryanscottlifts you didn’t mention it yet but what type of insulation/flooring do you think you will do? Great info so far

@Fugalisious I did the foam board against the wall, and then I'll run the fiber insulation between 2x4 framing once the electric is ran. Still undecided ok floor but likely some manufactured flooring. I'll make a video for sure.

This was another good one!

Thanks man!

Good progress man! Although I am sweating thinking about the cost of all the lumber!

Honestly, the lumber was cheaper than the insulation lol. I'm probably $1,500-$2,000 in lumber, screws and nails if I had to guess.

Who did a framing quote for 30 k these days please let me know who you got a quote from ? Gtfoh

As in you think it's cheap or expensive? It's a 1,500 sq ft space. We were quoted >$100K to finish the entire basement. Imagine building a house. 3,000 sq ft house costs at least $500k in Connecticut now.
