Casper Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 We want to finish our basement. Does anyone here do that kind of work? I mainly just need the framing and ceiling done. I can do the electrical and drywall for the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 those are both easy to do. well not the texture part but everything else is. i'm redoing mine right now too, i'm about half done. you live pretty close if you want to check it out sometime.

Casper Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'll help you, if you help me... Man that sounds so wrong.......... But you know I'll help you out whenever you need man. I think finishing the basement is going to be my project this winter. It'll keep me busy. When are you thinking about doing your's? We could just have a CR basement finishing party. One basement per month. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimpsy1647545505 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ceilings are a real bitch. . but with the proper tools and a couple people. . . they ain't bad. I'm down to help =) We could get some beer and pizza. . . and end up with like a half piece of drywall on the ceiling and everyone passed out in a corner. SOLID!

Sounds similiar to when you have your buddies help you move and they get the beer before the move is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I used some 0 drop panels I found at home depot for my basement ceiling. I lost maybe 1/2 of height. Also if you can do the drywall you should just do the rest too. I'd consider the drywall the hardest part and the only part I'd ever contract out.

Sam1647545489 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think you should fill full of concrete. I know a good concrete guy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 ill give a hand if theres pizza and beer! we (me, dad, and brothers) finished our basement at my parents house, but that was probably ~10 years ago. i remember getting one of those .22 caliber bullet nailers to drive the base boards for the frame into the ground...cant remember how the ceiling was done. ive been in the process of remodeling a bedroom last weekend and when i can the last few days, so im starting to learn a lot of this stuff, but more practice cant hurt...

KillJoy Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I would be willing to help in a basement finishing, as long as I can have assistance on a basement refinish. KillJoy PS - I have worked on about 4-5 Basement finishing.... nowhere near an expert.... but not Phil either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
