The before and after video editing was probably a pain, but thank you so much! It's great to see how the finished result looks with the under structure.
Definitely helpful to see the problem the solution and the finish. Now I know what I have to do when I get to the framing around pipes portion, 80% of the trial and error phase is gone. Thank you for this post.
Thanks for posting. I’m hesitant to get started on my basement in Hamburg. Tons of potential, but too many uncertainties to really commit. Good to see a local demonstration.
4:19 I’m in the middle of doing my basement and ran into your videos (they’ve been super helpful, thank you) but I have a question for you. How did you secure the 2x4 underneath that pipe at the top of the wall?
That's a tougher one. You can add some access panels/ports which you may even need ton design yourself depending on your specific conditions. The key is to seal around the floor clean out so that you do not have a break in the vapor barrier, then that clean out access will simply have to be exposed slightly to your slab floor, but this is a small area. Then just find or create a removeable access cover which will work for you.
Great video. You are a pro. I am starting my basement from scratch. Can you please guide me to your basic first video. Do you do house visits? Living in Toronto. Also do you recommend apply some sort of paint on basement floor to fill cracks and pores.
Hello and sorry for very late reply. The links to all the videos in this series are in the video description above and you can easily find all parts in my Channel page. I do not consult at this time, apologies. I so not recommend any sealants / paints / coatings as those can create greater long term issues. I describe that along with some references to materials which describe that in more detail in the comments to section in the first few video of this series.
Thanks for the compliment. For me to frame yours; too much ! :) It really is a fun DIY project particularly when you really don't need top worry about load bearing considerations in the design for those who might be a bit squeamish otherwise.
Thanks but totally disagree. I much prefer to have as much available space and don't mid the complex angles and framing. But to each his own so trust you will just build all squares so do what works for you on your project.

Excellent video. It was really helpful showing the before and after. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Extremely helpful - thanks!

Excellent!
How would you handle clean outs in the floor that are tied into the drain tile

0:42 why is the cleanout all foamed like that?
It's part of the moisture and damp proofing. Please have a look at the first videos in this series on those topics for more info.
@@Buffalo-Jso, how do you open the cleanout then
Cool video, great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Good, I will box mine in w/o the 45 s. Finishing for me would be easier than dealing with the 45s

Did you end up using the 6mm poly on your framing before drywall?
No, please see the first videos in this series regarding moisture and damp-proofing.
@@Buffalo-J thanks. I've watched it a few times. Was just checking as you haven't shown the drywall phase of the project yet
does your area not require fireblocking?
yes it does. Please see the video in this series on fireblocking.
Good vid, how much to frame my basement :-)

Looks horrible. You should of just boxed all that soffit instead of all those goofy angles.
