“Don’t be afraid of someone grabbing your ankles on your way to the basement, you know there’s a problem when your dog trembles at the top step.”
— Craved
Your home should never feel incomplete but if you’re living in a new built house wait a few years before renovating the house because it is settling in the disturbed ground. If you are still planning on finishing the basement you can just make sure you have access to your tele-posts so you can adjust them when you notice bowing or cracking drywall.
When observing an open space or an outdated basement, its hard to figure out layouts and it might be hard to visualize a basement that works for you. You might get used to an appliance in a certain area or drains for a bathroom in a place you don’t want it, anything like this can be relocated to a more convenient area. We design layout ideas and have engineers to inform us what we can/ cannot do if necessary.
