Q: What type of wood should I use for framing a basement?

• <div><p>You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to finish a basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement normally takes four to eight weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of your basement, your contractor's availability, and the extent of finishing work. Framing the basement will take three to five days, while adding electrical and rough-in plumbing can be another three to five days. Adding drywall can take five days, and floor installation can take two to three days. Final touches, like painting and adding trim, will take another week.</p></div>

Q: How long does a typical basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Project timelines vary significantly, typically from weeks to months, depending on design complexity and active permitting processes.</p></div>

Q: Would the newly raised basement ceiling need to be finished?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint your ceiling</a> or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. </p><p>If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.</p></div>

Q: What is considered a finished basement?

• <div><p>A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.</p><p>Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.</p></div>

I installed Windows 10. Kept getting the pop-ups for it, it was free...what a mistake. I don't have a smart phone, don't Skype, twitter, text, run a business out of my basement, so Windows 10 was wasted on me. I had purchased Windows 7 a few years ago, Star Tech installed it for about $50.00. ...
