Do you remember those big white walls in your basement? Yeah, I do! Well, I am still here. My basement is not exactly the same, but it is pretty. It’s a bit of a mess, but it is my place to be. I have all this unused space to paint on top of the floor, and I wanted to get it all organized down there.
One thing it is missing from our basement is a bathroom. That is, except for one of the new houses that we have (mine was built after the original ones, so I have a lot of unfinished work to do on the walls), there is only one bathroom in all of our houses. So let’s do this job together.
Before starting on the bathroom walls, I wanted to get a lot of our walls painted. I had already decided to paint the walls of my old house, but when I saw the basement walls, I was like, “I can get in there and do some work on this mess.” So I decided to do it all myself with my own paint brush. I think it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
The most important thing to remember with any interior renovation is you don’t have to be a perfectionist. You can always change things up a bit to make it more interesting or to add something unique, but never more than you can handle. I don’t want to say that you can never make a change, but only that you need to keep your nose to the grindstone and don’t stray too far from your original plan.
For me the biggest thing is that I can go back and do it again next time. It makes the process more enjoyable. It allows you to be an engineer rather than a builder. It allows you to do your own thing rather than rely on others to do it.
I’ve done a number of renovations, and it’s great. In fact I’m planning on doing another one soon. I like to have a lot of control over things because otherwise they become a nightmare. I have the ability to make the whole process super easy, or if I want to be really complicated, I can. I don’t want to do it to much to get in my own way.
If you are someone who is always doing something, whether that is painting, renovating, restoring, or remodeling, you can do it in the basement. I have a friend who does this every month or two on the weekends. The basement is where he does his “construction”, where they lay bricks and cut mortar.
I have a friend that is renovating his basement. He is doing it right, I can see it in his eyes. He is one of the few that has the knowledge and skill to do this. The basement is a wonderful place to work on. I have seen him paint the walls in his basement and the walls in the garage. It’s amazing.
The basement is where you do all the work. You’ll find it easier to get a job done there than any other room in the house. While I can see why you might think so, I disagree. I can tell you exactly why I think you don’t want to do a basement remodel.
I know this is something you might not like, but I have an answer for you. In a basement remodel, you are trying to make your life easier. Its easy to remodel your basement. It is a lot easier to change the way you work in a basement than it is to make a large or large-ish home. The fact is, if you are going to have a basement remodel, you need to be sure and do it right.
