Good job man, how long did all of this take, and when did you have the time to do all of thiss?

After work?

[mareadmare2008]

And you did this without a plan? Next time, If you need more help with designing a basement professionally, contact me! thebasementdesigner com FYI, I do all my designs for anyone through email. PS. Suspended ceilings look like an office or mobile home. You get what you pay for you know?

wow, came out extremely nice. I give it a 5 out of 5. personally I would put carpet down, however it still looks beautiful. Are you a carpenter?

Ok, My husband is trying to fix up our basement where he can make his barber shop and cut hair down there. How do you think that can be done and where do he need to start?

good job if you allow me just one word. in view of the fact that there are no windows it may of be best to have use a lighter color on the walls as to brighten up the place.

It's always tough to find the motivation to work on your own house. I've got a buddy that has been going at his basement for a little over a year now. Looks like you moved pretty quick. Good Job.

I've heard that trafficmaster doesn't fair too well in basements.

Supposedly, the temperature swings make it expand and contract so much they warp (supposedly).

And, supposedly: concrete + trafficmaster + moisture = mold.

So how has this flooring worked out for you?
