I have no idea, it depends on what you want and what there is to work with. I'd have to know a lot more before I could give you an accurate number. This project cost about 20K. I could come to Michigan and help you out, but there is another member on this board who has been waiting patiently for me to finish this thing, so I can finish his basement, so it'll be a while before I'm available.

There are can lights in the "living room" section, and one over the main entry. Got lucky with the slab, it was only out 1/2 inch over 30 feet, so I didn't have to level it. Ordinarily, I'd lay down 2x4 pressure treated sleepers, with an inch and a half of Styrofoam insulation in between them, topped with one inch tongue and groove ply, but it doesn't get all that cold here, so we went with the thicker variety of under-layment/vapor barrier.

https://picasaweb.google.com/Seattle...92759866626914 The thing was originally a warehouse, and it was built like a tank. 24 inch solid heartwood columns, 4 inch cardecking covered with 3 inches of concrete...I'm reasonably certain you could park a fucking battleship in there with no problems...but... The city inspector (dipshit) said we had to build a five story shear wall up the middle of the thing, so it wouldn't fall over. Yeah, right, sure. Asshole. Anyway, all the new work done in the building was metal studs, except for that goddamn shear wall, so that should tell you something. JC

AMJ, whats the cost difference between doing a sheetrock ceiling and a drop pannel ceiling? My dad had originally planned that the ceiling on our basement was going to be sheetrock, but 2 years later and 1 dad down... the plans have changed a little. Mom is thinking of diving back into it, but we need to make some decisions before going foreward. We have the ceiling, carpet, cabinets, and doors left to do.

If the ceiling is flat, and doesn't have a bunch of shit in the way, (plumbing, duct-work, etc...) rock will be, off the top of my head, 60% cheaper, at least. JC

Was that your cost or what you charged the homeowner? If it was the homeowner's bill was that for both time and materials? That sounds surprisingly "inexpensive" to me.

The number is a little bit misleading, since the appliances (and the kitchen sink ![]() The cabinets aren't particularly high end (about 4k), the flooring was on sale, and I use a lot of coupons. Here's a helpful tip for you DIY's. The Post Office has a coupon for 10% off at Lowe's, included in their change of address kit. It's good for up to $500 off, and as near as I can tell, you can use them every day with no problems. No, you don't have to move. Also, I do everything, including the electrical and plumbing. If I subbed that stuff out, the cost would have been much higher. JC
