Not a fan of basement renovation unless I know water isn't coming in in the future. I used to install basement systems for water remediation. And have torn alot of these wonderfully built sculpted basements apart just to solve water issues. So a tip is to make sure exterior grading is perfect for water remediation and even having one inside before making these wonderful upgrades. You did such a wonderful project thumbs up to to the result.

Sooooo much moisture will be coming out of that slab on grade that a dedicated barrier will help in my humble opinion.

As a young general contractor I gotta say that I was very impressed by this…. Man labor does cost a lot as well as permits/inspections etc etc Aside from that I generally prefer working by myself… the job itself isn’t hard but working with others with experience often delays production since you have like that one guy that say “no that’s wrong, this is how you do it” and another guy that says “no you’re wrong this is how you do it” The days of finishing on time is all but gone in construction as a whole but there are still some that can complete everything in a timely manner since they got peeps that don’t care and understand that most things have multiple solutions 🍺🍀

For the energy walls, a faster way is attach your bottom and top plates, hold the stud on the top of bottom plate and make a mark on top where its snug to top plate. Its 10x faster and cleaner than measuring every individual stud. Mark it, lean it up, mark next. If you have help, the second person follows behind cutting them, and the person marking will than circle back and start nailing them in. 30 years experience here and nobody has beat me yet on speed and cleanliness! Also, be sure to crown every stud the same direction, it will help you out once you get to the drywall stage of the project. I'd also recommend to the diy folks, give yourself extra drywall backing in corners and above any interior walls. It's important for non pros and it will make it easier for you to attach everything, especially the ceiling and doubly if you're doing it alone.

Good Morning Andrew , Good video , three things I would very much like to know... You showed us all this in just under 13 minutes... what was it in real time... a/ did you keep track or your actual hours ? ( I assume you did not do this full time straight through ) b/ over what period of time did this get done ? c/ What is the square footage of what was done in THIS video? You state that you saved $ 30,000 , how did you come to that figure ? ( Not challenging it , just wondering ) Was it a figure that general basement companies charge ? Was it worked out on how many hours YOU spent do this ? Times what rate ? $$ per hr ? etc etc etc Thanks Bob

Good job. I want to do my basement myself and I wish I had someone like you to show me how to do it.

This a great video but I had to run it at half speed to be able to read and appreciate the hard work you put into it. You could easily create a few videos from this one. Great content!
