We are finally done with the main room of the basement! The bathroom and ceiling will be completed next year. I can't believe I have a finished basement that will serve as an office/family room!

Internet, we went from this:

Steps to the outside:


When we first moved in, before doing anything, we had our basement water managed. We have an irrigation system that takes any water that comes in through the brick to a sump pump and back out.

We made sure the entire basement was studded out far enough that the brick still has room to breathe. We used greenboard drywall because it has a pretty decent water-resistant paper covering. We used rubber molding too. Even most of the furniture is up off the ground. So, if for some reason the pump fails and we do get water in the basement, we will have easy fixes.
