It's really concerning seeing you not use any face masks while sanding the walls and spray painting. I mean, if you don't care about your own health, that's fine you do you, but when you market yourself as DIY role model, that's very very poor form. It's much cheaper and more convenient to protect your eyes and lungs with some basic PPE when you're in good health than it is to deal with major problems down the road.
Fellas, don't worry... you don't have to hand your man card in by chucking a mask on your face!
Hi Nick. I use negative air extraction on my jobs to eliminate the need for a mask. This way I can teach while I work without hanging a mask around my neck like the HGTV stars. I also used a vacuum sander and a hvlp sprayer with non acrylic paint. I am quite sure my air in that basement is a lot cleaner then the air on any major street in the country. This isn't about being tough it is about being comfortable. Anyone in the trades will pass on safety for comfort and productivity any day of the week. Today we have people working at a snails pace building which drastically increases the cost of production. We all die anyway, might as well get something done while we are here. I would gladly loose 10 years of my life and be twice as productive in my 50 years of work. But that is just me thinking of my kids and grand kids and not myself. Cheers!
Old school hard working get it done we never had ppe in those days right or wrong thats the way it was. Guessing you can't teach old dogs new tricks 😂 just read that you employ modern technology to limit or should I say manage exposure 👍
this is true, people.. wear your PPE around dust and especially fiberglass insulation. once it goes in your lungs - it ain't comin out!
What flooring was that?
😂 😂 😂....You are an annoying jerk...
"man card"........LMAO.......Ignoramus
Interesting - you did a large basement in 10 minutes. Nice job. Mine is a fraction of the size and it took me 4 months
Ive been binge watching the entire channel even if I’m not interested in the project because it’s always entertaining. Have learned a ton and can’t thank you enough Jeff!
Cheers Happy to help!
12 weeks of work to save $80,000. As a comparison, with a 30% tax rate, someone with a $494K/yr salary makes $80,000 in 12 weeks. This is why I try to do as many DIY projects I possibly can. Watch some TH-cam videos, invest in some tools, do some rewarding manual labor, and get paid like a surgeon!
I recently had someone try and convince me that being the project manager in my own renovations would be more worth my time than doing the work myself, and I just couldn’t agree with him at all.
I understand where he’s coming from, as his argument was that the time saved would be better spent elsewhere, and that, in a lot of cases, time is money. However, what he refused to acknowledge is that money is also money. I don’t care if it takes me 8 hours to do what a “pro” can do in 2, I’m still saving $1,000+.
Are you suggesting that’s a 100k plus basement?
@@damianokon6209 it is if you hire a contractor. It says it in the video. Material cost 20k labour cost 80k but since he’s a renovator he’s not gonna charge himself lol
@@Yxfttst 80K seems steep, but yes I missed that part. Saw it after I posted the comment. Thanks for pointing out!.
I’ve seen basements done for a lot less. Maybe he would have changed 80k for his work. But I’ve definitely seen a basement that size done for less. Including bathroom and rooms
Basements are a whole other world in a house. Especially with those 9'(?) ceilings!
You can tell Miles is a painter by trade...no stinking painter's tape for him! Love the way the barn doors look with the floor.
I love it!
I have a 70 year old basement I have to finish/renovate. You make this look easy, when I think about where to start I get cold sweats.
This is an awesome summation video of all the work you have put in. Keep making these!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks a lot for sharing. Really informative. Have been thinking of finishing my basement but can never figure out the permit thing. Really don't want to waste $100K to hire a contractor.
This is really really cool to see the previous videos being recorded and then this put out.
Why didn't he put anything between the bottom 2x4 and floor? Wouldn't you need a vapor barrier between in case of water intrusion?
Also, what tool did he use to vacuum and sand the drywall?
The music choice makes it much easier to watch. Very smooth👍
Thanks for sharing, Jeff.
I'm doing my basement too. Mine is only 2/3 of the size of yours but it's been taken me months on planning the soundproofing, framing alone. Your videos help alot on my next phase (execution) of the project and hope it would be done before summer
really liked the time lapse! and the music choices were good! thank you for your tutelage. Shivering black bell thumbs up!
Cheers!
I'm stoked to see the whole project, it really makes me feel like with the right tool, attitude, wisdom and help you can really DO IT YOURSELF! Great video, great content! 🎉 congrats on a finished project! (The best kind!)
Cheers Peter!
Jeff is on....that means education time. The people's champ.
My father in law messed up when he finished his basement. He used 2x2 boards like furring strips. Problem is he attached those to the block and used no insulation, only thing he put behind the drywall was a plastic moisture barrier. I am tearing it all out now because of course it sweated and ruined the drywall and rotted the wood.
Jeff thank you for your informative videos. They gave me courage to tackle multiple projects. One i have had a difficult time with is a patch repair on a very uneven wall. I had a ahah moment and decided to thin my mud to paint and apply with a 2 inch brush. I got my california patch to blend much better. Thanks again for your time.
Jeff ....you make every DIY job look so easy as always!!!
I try
Jeff, mind slowing down on the work? I have been three weeks into my basement and I can barley use 10 to time lapse 10% completion as of today…hehe. As always great work!!
Hi Jeff. Your videos re very useful. Could you very please do a video on how to insulate a garage. And a video how to install epoxy flooring in a garage.
Can you talk more about why it's important to vacuum up all that dust before installing the floors? I feel like a lot of people would just ignore it since it's underneath.
I'm no expert but to my understanding you need as smooth of a surface as possible to install flooring, anything left underneath can lead to uneven flooring, or flooring that creeks when walking over certain areas etc..
Jeff has said in other videos that any dust under the floors will get blown up into the room from the force of people walking in the room. And it'll take about two years of using the room before the last of that dust finally migrates upward and you stop having to deal with the room being dusty and dirty.
correct @seanreynolds
So I kinda need the steps before the video begins. The framing out of the walls in the basement and putting up the plastic sheets and all that. Is there a video for that part? I love the rest of the series!
MILES IS SKILLED!
QUESTION
For the wall that has the pink insulation with the plastic. Can you show a video on how to install drywall with it?
It looks great Jeff!
Cheers David!
Was this foundation waterproofed on the exterior? Just curious how you are handling water infiltration and humidity to prevent mold behind your interior walls? I get that you put poly up to stop the movement from your conditioned space to the exterior walls.. but what about from the exterior walls to the backside of your poly? It’s a question I’ve been kicking around as I plan to renovate my basement. Thanks Jeff!!
Wish I can afford to renovate my basement by you
Nice! A project like this seems doable for me upon first glance, however, I know it would take me a year! 😂
perhaps, but a great way to make an extra $60,000 and no taxes for homeowners DIY. Cheers! Most folks need to make another $100,000 in order to clear another 60.
The basement came up a treat great job thanks for taking us along on the journey
Jeff can you please make a video on how to fill gaps between hardwood floor planks? Don't want to refinish my entire floor if I can help it
Jeff. If I build an interior basement wall and insulate it do I need a vapor barrier before covering with sheet rock. I’ll be using rock wool safe and sound if that makes a difference. I did use a vapor barrier on the wall built against the concrete. Thanks I’m advance for your time.
In a previous video in the basement I saw you put the subfloor down before framing. Which is the better method? I live in Maryland and my house was built in 1968 but the previous owner extended the entire house in 1985.
Now that’s perfection!
I’m really digging this video love, jazz music as always you guys do a great job. Keep up the good work!❤❤❤
Great job just curious …i have never used the foam sheets under the plywood ..to date in basements ….older basements i might add…i use the backer that has dimples in it like little channels for air flow etc..they come in rolls of red or blue..then i do the plywood ..then flooring….just curious about your choice …more cost effective? ???superior product??
Hi Jeff, I noticed sometimes you update the duck work to blow hot air near the floor in the basement but lately you are just moving the air return near the floor.
What do you suggest?
I really want to make sure my basement has a good hot air flowing and there is not cold spots.
A year ago, the estimate i got for half the size, was 230k. Needless to say I'm DIYing it.
Curious why you went hardwood in the basement vs. LVP? Seems like in case of flooding LVP might be a safer/cheaper bet
in the event of flooding the floor is thrown out anyway. it may be waterproof but it is not going to be lifted up without breaking all the joints so re-install is never going to happen. Cheers!
Good job, it looks great
Cheers!
So nice to watch a video without Jeff rambling on and on.....lol.....Of course I'm just kidding around....Jeff's ramblings have taught me alot and saved me lots of money
LOL, glad to hear they are good for something. Cheers!
Should I isolate the basement ceiling? Or let without isolation for the basement help warm the floor above?
Nice work Jeff, looks great! Cheers bud
Another great video. This channel is the only reason a guy like me can stand a chance at finishing his own basement 😂. Your subfloor system is going to save me a ton over the more expansion dricor-type options I typically would have defaulted to.
Question: I haven't seen any videos where you've leveled the concrete floor before laying the subfloor. When (if ever) is it needed? Our slab has some old tiles in a few places and a floor drain with a small slope. Would your subfloor system be able to conquer that kind of height differences in a few places? I have analysis paralysis on this one. We plan on laying a carpet/vinyl plank combination.
I prefer to work with the slope. vinyl can be a bad choice with aggressive slopes. best to use carpet for areas with bad slope if possible. otherwise use floor leveler before install. Cheers!
Wow 20k, but thats a big basement too though. I feel like mine will be only around 10k? Hoping lol. But yeah contractor prices are ridiculous now.
Quick question: in the event of water. What happens to that foam on straight concrete? Im assuming there is a vapor barrier under the slab but what about water coming in via failed sump pump or through a window? Looking for an education.
20k 😮 nice
What a chill amazing video
I am finishing a room in my basement and making it a bedroom. There is already fiberglass insulation inbetween the joists. Do I need a vapor barrier before finishing the ceiling or will that cause moisture and mold issues?
Jeff, what do you think the average cost "Ball Park" of a bathroom bath tub removal to a walk-in shower would be?
diy around $4,000.00 contractor around $15,000 to start. ROI is around $11,000
I just bought a raised ranch home with a partial basemant i want to turn it into a bedroom but my only worry's is that the furnance is in there , it has its own enclosed sections with a ventilated door to acces it. Is there any health concerns inshould worry about?
Why is there no Lentil over the window? Is it because the floor joists are boxed in on the ends?
First off I really enjoy watching your videos and making the job at hand done correctly.
On your basement outside walls, what was your construction steps? I got a little confused in your use of plastic. I saw you cutting plastic from bottom plate before you put down your sub floor installation. Was this just a strip of plastic put under your plates? Or do you also cover your walls with plastic after insulation?
Can you please explain and also do you feel that installing a drywall ceiling in your basement is a wise thing to do long term? I too feel you can go either way on the ceiling. Dropped ceiling cost you at least 4 inches but easy post access.
Needless to say comfort is the key. What type of heating did you use here?
Thanks again but that plastic you trimmed off bottom had me puzzled. Did I miss where you installed it?
Also for people with radon concern, seal up those floor cracks and get your levels checked before doing anything. I woukd even paint the concrete floors with a sealer to stop not only moisture but also mitigate as much radon as possible.
Was this done over 12weeks full time or 12weeks part time? Working predominately solo, evening's and weekends, how long would this take? Thanks
perfect brothers
Thanks!
Cheers!
Sanding is a B / what I've learned is , this If you mudding whole room or whatever mud tape mud But very light That is best , sanding will be at a min
Hi Jeff, I have couple questions about basement impact noise management. can 2 layer of drywall be hung on resilient channel? or it is not strong enough? can resilient channel and hat channel achieve the same result if install correctly?
I would prefer hat channel for 2 layers of 5/8. resilient channel for 1 and it uses less screws so less transfer. Cheers!
Can't seem to find much info or videos about fireblocking in Canada. Is the orange goodstuff acceptable?
Love this channel thanks for the content Geoff
Love the time lapse Jeff...!
thx for the amazing video i learnd a lot but I have question do I need your exp tools to do all that?
only $20k? Wow!
That flooring looked so high quality it would cost me that much alone around here to get just that installed :(
Yup. that is why DIY is the best way to build equity and get free from mortgages.
Hi Jeff! Cool project as always! For the drywall (no sonopan), is it good to use PL200 instead of screws for the walls, avoiding some screws or all screws? For home theater I would thibk it would cut vibration transmission since there is no screws ...or it doesnt change anything? I know about the green acoustic glue between panels, but my question is more about the fastening of the drywalls sheets (2x 5/8) to get an higher STC. I didnt saw this in the Canadian NRC tests. Thanks!!
I’m about to start on my basement, I don’t see an egress window? Walkout?
Thanks for providing the length of the project. Would you mind providing an estimate of how many man hours this took? Many of us have day jobs and man hours would really be helpful to estimate the time it would take to finish the project.
around 00 man hours. Cheers! That is roughly $200 an hour income after taxes and material cost for a homeowner. Cheers!
Great job 👍
Does a finished basement or finished apt above garage bring higher sq ft value?
Great job.
good stuff
Also kind of surprised you didn't cut out egress windows on some of them for possible bedrooms in the future?
the 2 bedrooms still need to be done.
NICE WORK 🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you think about using spray foam insulation?
I prefer painting right to left (being right handed) but he did a fine job. Anyone else?
I paint like I read. Cheers!
Does this guy do any work on other people's homes or just his own
WHY ARE YOU INSTALLING PLASTIC AFTER ROCKWOOL / MINERAL-WOOL ???
hi sir nice job
Why don’t you paint the walls before installing the floor in the big room ? I see the bedroom was done like that.
Nice project. What spurred the move from predominantly DeWalt to predominantly Craftsman?
They are all the same company when you start digging in (believe it's actually Black and Decker, and they call the Dewalt sub company Yellow and Black). I recently purchased the $40 Craftsman 4.5" angle grinder for floor thinset removal since my smaller $10 Task Force wouldn't cut it...and it's as high quality as any of my Dewalt tools.
I had noticed Jeff was recently starting to use Craftsman power tools too.
Just trying out the new DIY Dewalt line is all. Cheers!
Super ballsy move to not wear face mask when sanding drywall 🥳👍
Or spray painting 😬
I use negative air when sanding so no worries. Cheers! I HATE masks
I thought this was gonna be a boring video, but then I heard Saxaphone.
What’s the sqft of this basement?
Question for ya, if my ceiling height is borderline legal limit for a room, still strap it??
once you get a permit simply ask the inspector for permission. they usually allow it. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thanks!
what are your thoughts on water "proofing " systems for basements the ones that are using a tarp like system on the walls and a treanch with pipe below the foundation line inside the of basement
Cause more problems than they solve. Altering established subsoil drainage patterns is risky business and can result in unintended consequence, and once new drainage patterns are established it may be difficult if not impossible to reverse course. Establishing air pockets for water to collect around your foundation and you've already lost the battle. Gutters belong on roofs, not underground. Sump pumps are the devil's work.
only if it goes to a sump pit . Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY And then you're at the mercy of a fallible mechanical device to keep your basement dry. And rest assured, something will always fail at the most inconvenient of times (overnight, on a weekend, when you're out of town etc.). You'll be dooming yourself to an existence of biting your nails and hoping that everything functions as intended following any major storm. As someone who has lived in homes with and without waterproofing systems, I wouldn't wish a home with an active sump pump on my worst enemy.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY for sure with 2 pumps one as a main and one as a secondary and back up bother backed up by battey power I have replaced all gutters resloped ground away from house discharging water from down spots into PVC piping to run off ditch water proofed the out side stone foundation put in 2 levels of drain pipe with pea gravel we just have a high water table in fack the property next to us is a tree laden swamp and our basement floor is about 5 feet below the water level in that swamp
@@stuartfarrell6729 It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Allow water in, have to pump it out. And you can't pump down a water table. Sumps/waterproofing systems are largely unnecessary if you don't contend with a high water table, but counterintuitive if you do. Best defense is compacted subsoil and an undisturbed uniform slab. When that falters, attempt to reinforce the soil and concrete, but NEVER let water inside to pump it out. Once you've opened that Pandora's box you've lost the fight. That's been my experience. It's an unfortunate reality however that many homes and subdivisions were simply built where they shouldn't have been.
what is the purpose of the foam below the plywood for the floor?
creates a thermal break so the room is comfortable to sit in.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thanks! keep up the great content
Setting a bad example not using a proper respirator ESPECIALLY with the paint sprayer
"Wow, that looks great! I bet I could do that to my basement."
$20k in materials
"I guess unfinished basements have their own charm too..."
that was also almost 1600 sq ft.
Oof, I would've done something to seal up those huge hairline cracks in the slab before covering them up with subflooring. Next thing ya know you'll have groundwater pushing up after heavy rains and you'll have to tear up all your work.
no worries. there is no hydrostatic pressure under a slab. if there is your entire basement will buckle and floor regardless of if there is a crack or not.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY As someone who lives in an area with a high water table who has had water press up through small imperfections in the basement slab and know of others who have experienced the same thing, I beg to differ 🤷
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Hydrostatic pressure may exert the most force at the cove joint, but it can create patterns underneath a slab, or established subsoil drainage patterns may in fact run directly underneath a structure, and you won't know it until it starts to push through.
is this the basement of the church building?
nope. a friend of the family so we could do a series. Cheers!
Some groovy elevator music!
nice job but OMG the wall colors, the floors, windows, nothing matches...really strange.
No mask painting and no knee pads flooring. That's why I love this guy 🤣
I'm happy the latest generation of trades don't have to have an "*" by their life expectancy. I'm a Jeff fan despite this, not because of it
excellent work...except those horrid paint color choices.
Ditch the plastic
Ever heard of ppe good lord. I'd hate to be this dudes lungs.
How much did this actually cost
$20,000. in materials and a few thousand in labor. for the helpers for a couple days.
wait... arent you a contractor? lol
First
There's your Medal 🥇🤣
Jeez $80k is what a contractor would have charged?? I gotta up my prices lol, I would have charged around $40,000 in labor and I’m a GC
I was quoted 40k for a 600sq ft basement w bathroom. I guess it depends where you live.
No Jeff over estimates, you quote someone $80,000 you're going to loose business to others who'd charge reasonable rates.

Jeff can you please make a video on how to fill gaps between hardwood floor planks? Don't want to refinish my entire floor if I can help it
the best way is to increase the humidity in the house and see if they close up.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I honestly wasn't expecting a reply, but I really do appreciate it. Long story short, I installed the floors many years ago when I bought the house as a young amateur do it yourselfer. I followed the appropriate acclimation instructions, however what I didn't account for was how long it was going to take me to install the floor. When I started the installation the temperature was mild and the air conditioning in the house wasn't being used, but shortly after starting my install, there was a hot and humid heat wave. I also freshly painted at the time so I had windows open to air out the house and the air conditioner was off which now I know was where I went wrong. So by the time I finished, the humidity in my home I'm sure was significantly higher than when I started so my floor wasn't properly acclimated to the general living conditions. So naturally in the summer the gaps close up a little bit with the higher humidity, but there are still gaps because the air conditioner is basically on all of the time. I am in the process of a kitchen remodel so now I want to fix the adjacent floors if it's not going to be a massive undertaking. Do you have any tips or tricks to fill the gaps or am I stuck with them unless I redo the entire floor?
