DIY finishing basement

13 years ago

We are interested in a DIY finished basement. ,oat of the walls are concrete so we can paint those but we have about 10ft of unfinished framing and insulation that I would love to cover. We are renovating our entire first floor and need to be able to "finish" the pavement on our own. Would love some ideas.
Thanks, Michele

I will post some photos later. We really liked corrugated roofing material used but it is too hard for us to cut and intstall.
