[quote=Anonymous]Starting to think about finishing the basement. Some friends and contractors have begun making suggestions, and I'm not sure what makes the most sense. We've been in the house for 5 years, and we've never had water/flooding issues. The back part of the basement has French doors and some windows. We have rough ins for a full bath. We plan to add a bedroom in addition to the bath and a rec room. RE: ceiling - some folks have suggested a drop ceiling so we can access the pipes if there's an issue down the road. They're ugly but practical I suppose. Thoughts? RE: flooring - some folks have suggested tile in case we have a flood. I'd prefer a cozy basement with carpet (so the kids can play and I won't have to worry about concussions). And tile in a basement bedroom (even with an area rug) seems like a bad idea. Thoughts? I'd appreciate tips from folks who have tackled a similar project. [/quote]
