I am 28yo and just naught my first home with my wife and two young kids. The basement is a flashback from the early 80’s complete with a blue toilet, blue shower, blue vanity, old fiberglass insulation, uninsulated rim joists, cracked vinyl floors, wood panel walls, cold floors and even colder drafts. Your video series is EXACTLY what I have been spending months looking for. THANK YOU for the detail and time you put into making these. Especially the first few on what insulation you use and the sequential steps for insulating the walls and installing your full sub floor system. I am going to be following your step by step videos as I remodel my basement. Question: when you purchased all your materials, do you find it cheaper to go through big box stores or do you have any recommended distributors who deliver in bulk I.e fomular XPS paneling , underlayment and sub floors. I’m in Northern VA. Thank again -Nico
Great video - I am in the process of finishing my basement and am using much of the same material and techniques, thanks to you. One question that I’m stumped on, how did you do your horizontal fire blocking as to not compromise the insulation and vapor barrier. I’m almost to that point and am curious on what you did. Thanks!
Nice video
Thanks

Thanks and glad to hear this might be useful for you. I had the same frustrations when I started in trying to figure out how to pull it all together.

I have a video on fire blocking I'm making...just haven't had time to put it together yet. Stay tuned.
