Remodeling the basement..

[Fordguy64]

Well a little back ground on house.. i just bought the place 11-30-11 its a 1700sqft house with a full "finished basement" its a 4 bed 2 bath. 2nd bath and 4th bed room are in the basement and neither are usuable. im going to talk to my auditor to see what i have to do to get the 4th bed taken of the house. ( i dont need a 4th bed) i purchased it for less then half of its value the guy i got it from paid 211K in 2008 i got it for 100k (short sale i think he just got a divorce) and the house is on 3.3 acres in the middle of the city..

Ok now lets get down to business.. my plans are (not in any order)
1.insulate/ seal everything up tight
2.redo some wiring (see pic below)
3.make the bath a little bigger and remove bed room
4.structured wiring for the house (cat6 coax phone)
5.redo some plumbing in the 2nd bath
6.redo duct work it leaks everywhere..
and much much more..

and this is only half of the basement.. the other half will get done when this side is done








bath is the door on left middle door is just a weird little room and the door on the right is the bedroom


this is looking back at where the first pic was taken. (20 year old furnace on the list of things to replace)


its hard to see but the actually insulated the ceiling in the basement.. the however did not seal up the rim joists or anything..


can o wires anyone??
