Regardless of whether the basement was designed to eventually be finished or the basement is a dark, low-ceilinged relic of decades gone by, Hometime's Basements provides the how-to information for turning that space into a comfortable living area. Topics covered include designing the space so that finished rooms don't feel like they're in a basement; moving existing plumbing, wiring, and heating systems; solving moisture problems and preventing future problems; and selecting finishing materials suitable for use in a basement. Special features include installing gas fireplaces, saunas, cabinets, and shelves.
