This blog post is about my basement remodeling project in Orlando, Florida. Not exactly what I expected, but I wanted to share it with you as a reminder that whatever you are doing to your home, it is a good idea to have your priorities in mind.
What I found after doing my research is that while a lot of remodeling projects are “bang for the buck,” the real “bang for the buck” is the planning and effort you put into it. Yes, a remodel can cost more, but it isn’t necessary and it’s not as if the whole cost of it is going to blow your budget.
The biggest mistakes you should avoid while you are doing a serious remodel or making a project more exciting is not getting the right tools. Yes, there are plenty of great tools that you can get in a home remodeling project, but you need to know what you need and what your budget is for these tools. That’s exactly what we see here in the video.
I’m not going to talk about tools here because if you are going to remodel, I suggest you try to do it with a professional. But, there are some things that you should definitely know before you start that are important, most of them more important than you might think. For example, if you have a wood-burning stove you should take it out, and if you have a gas stove you should take it out and then run it.
So, if you are going to do your basement, you should know about the tools that you should have. I would recommend getting a drill and bits that are more about cutting than something that is going to be used to screw holes. Also, I think, the tools that you should have are a drill, a jigsaw and a level.
In the video above, you can see that I’ve got about a dozen drills, jigsaws, and a level. That’s a lot of tools to have, and it’s important to have a good eye for what you’re using when it comes to working on your basement.
Ive found that some tools I like to have are: a level, a drill, and a drill press. The drill press is important. Its important to have something you can press hard and make a hole in. Also, a drill can be used for drilling in the foundation, too. I use this a lot in my basement. It gives me a lot of power to screw holes into the foundation and move the dirt around underneath.
Drill presses tend to be great for drilling in the foundation as they drill into the bricks on the outside of the foundation. They are also great for moving dirt around underneath the foundation. It can be used to do both drilling in the foundation and moving the dirt around underneath. As an alternative, you can use a level to drill into the foundation, and then use your drill press to do the same thing. In both cases you get to use your hands a lot more.
I’m not sure if it makes a ton of sense for a person to move dirt underneath the foundation. But moving the dirt under the foundation is a great way to keep your walls free from moisture or dust, and you can also use it for additional structural reinforcement.
It’s also a great way to get an idea of how thick the foundation is. It also gives you a great idea of the depth of the soil. And since it’s a very low maintenance project, you can actually use the foundation dirt to do something else.
