Now that people are finding they need to make room for grown children and their ungrown children as well as aging parents, memories are turning to that basement that they decided to leave unfinished when they bought the house in order to save money. Here are detailed explanations and clear photographs on how non-professionals can make basements livable in the spare time they have until the company starts rehiring. Core chapters cover floors; walls and ceilings; and windows, doors, and trim. Others look at evaluating and planning, improving basement environments in such matters as reducing moisture and adding electrical circuits, and specific projects such as a guest bedroom and a gym.
