Nate is on a distinguished road
Default Basements

Did my basement from start to finish, 1450 sq ft bungalow, for give or take 11,000 including a 500 gallon penninsula tank as one wall of the theatre. I did however have a full bath down there which helped tremendously with costs

It helps tonnes if you do a lot of the work yourself.
I did electrical (with the help of an electrician overviewing and giving instruction)
Framed
Insulated
Installed HRV on remote humidstat under supervision of an Hvac neighbor (also a great guy)
Installed Drywall
I painted
I did the finishing woodwork incl baseboards

I contracted out:
Carpet
Mud and tape as indicated
had help with electrical
had someone (spawn from canreef) skin my stand (great guy fantastic work)

All in all it was a 6 month project that burned me out pretty good. Had a baby due in 7.5 months from when we started and finished about 2 weeks before she was born (3 weeks early). Definitely worth it. I know I would not have been able to do it now if I were to even think about it.

Worked very well for us as with a bungalow we pretty much doubled our living space (more room for kids toys)

If I ever think of it, I'll post some pix
