Project 365 Day 314: Basement: To DIY Or Not To DIY

As you may know, we enjoy our home very much and have been making reasonable use of our unfinished basement. After throwing down ten or so area rugs it's made for a very serviceable home office/music room/entertainment area/storage space. However, we have still been planning to finish the basement at some point, once we have the funds saved up and are ready for the associated disarray.

Whenever I mention our plans to someone and they ask if we're going to do it ourselves, that usually means the person asking has done one or more basements themselves and consider it to be pretty easy. As we have never done a basement, I feel that we probably need to gather more information before deciding if it's something we're willing and able to take on. So, along with Googling for some info online, I also decided to pick up a book on the subject at the public library (pictured here). I think we'll be in the information consumption and percolation stage for a while.
