Finishing a basement

Does anyone know a site that gives you step by step on how to finish a basement? There are a lot of books, I guess I could go to the library.

Re: Finishing a basement

DIY.com has lots of step by step things.
Bob villas website might have some stuff too.
I think Home depot has a book just on basements. The library will have some.
Usually I look on Amazon.com for books on the subject I need, read the reviews & stuff then i get the book from my library. The way the library keeps them on the shelf it can be easy to overlook a great book on a subject you need.
Its better if you have a title or author.

Do you just need a list of the order that things need to be done? I can give you that.

Re: Finishing a basement

I went to amazone and found a book that my library has, so I am going to get it. Thanks. But sure, I would like to have a list, if you can, just to make sure I am not leaving anything out. Thanks a lot. I hope it is not too much trouble.

Re: Finishing a basement

ok hopefully I won't leave anything out
this is for a totally unfinished basement

-repair & waterseal foundation & floor if needed
-replace/add windows if needed
-frame walls with 2x4's or metal studs
-put in beams if you are removing lolly columns
-rough in plumbing & heating
-rough in electrical & cable
-insulate
-sheetrock & spackle
-finish plumbing & heating
-finish electrical
-install doors & trim
-put down flooring
-paint
-install drop ceiling if you didn't sheetrock it

I think that's it...but I didn't finish my first cup of coffee yet so if I left anything out somebody chime in
