[quote=Anonymous]We have a finished section of our basement, but it's in need of a facelift (wood paneling, drop ceiling, lighting), and we'd like to add a bathroom. However, I'm skeptical that with an 18 month old that is already obsessed with throwing balls, and another one coming - that the next few years the basement could see a lot of wear and tear from playing. My wife wants the upgrade since we spend a lot of time down there. It's usable/livable, but it's not a really comfortable environment. Should we hold off on upgrading and let the kids abuse it - or upgrade it to a more comfortable and inviting space, but assume there may be some damage we'll have to fix along the way (holes in drywall, things like that)? We're probably talking about $20k in total - which is a lot for us, and could use the money elsewhere in the house. Thanks![/quote]
