Basement ideas?

[Scythe13]

I'd love to give recommendations, but first....a little more info please.

Question 1: Do you own the house?

Question 2: Is this going to be a permanent home, or a fix-sell-make-profit-rebuy kind of house?

Question 3: What're your timescales?

Question 4: What are you prepping for?

Question 5: How do your family feel about your prepping?

Question 6: What kind of a budget are you working with?

Question 7: How long have you been in the house for?


Personally, before I did anything with the basement, I'd get a specialist in and check what can be done. Not just physically (such as going full size 7foot ceiling) but also legally (will the landlord be okay with 'renovations' or if you own it, are there any land restrictions?)

Once I had someone pop in and give me a heads up on what's possible and legal, that's when I'd start looking at the possibilities.
