Putty Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't want to finish my entire basement, just the biggest area. Basically, I want to make a room down there, so I need the walls and ceiling framed. I can drywall and do the rest. Anyone know someone that does this?

evan9381 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 framing is easy. my dad has the gun to nail into concrete via a .22 bullet if you want to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 agreed framing will be the easy part. Are there outlets already ran for power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to use that. agreed framing will be the easy part. Are there outlets already ran for power? No power ran yet. I'd figure that out once the framing is done.

Mensan Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't know how to use that. Put a nail inside the barrel of a .22. Simple. Drives it right in, like a hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What do you guys consider the hardest? probably ignoring everyone on CR that says "do it yourself" and finding someone that will actually come over and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What do you guys consider the hardest? As far as skill required, IMHO. Framing<Elec<Drywall Have you done drywall before? It's relatively hard to get a good finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking for help on what I don't feel comfortable doing..Who cares who says 'do it yourself'...if I can't, I won't. Did you skip the first post asking for someones assistance?

I finished my garage. I did the insulation and drywall. It was my first time and I did rather well. I would be a bit more critical in this room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
