Just purchased the BFU package on your site! Havent been able to stop watching!! Thanks!!
I was considering getting this. I have little to no experience with basement finishing. Does the BFU program have everything I would need? Does it have more on framing and much more than what was is covered on Eddies channel? I would appreciate your advise.
Yes much more framing training inside the Basement Finishing University... ~Eddie
@@epperton Yeah 1000% more. He walks you through every aspect from planning, to framing, mechanicals, insulation. Everything is in here. You should definitely get in there and start watching. Its worth every penny!!!
N'haatik yes he does! Eddie is a phenomenal instructor. I purchase 2.0 last year and it’s been a lifesaver. Very thorough.
About 5 or 6 years ago I bought the complete basement remodeling video set. Created a detailed drawing working through possible designs of the project. Studied the videos and took notes for a several months. Snapped the lines to make sure everything was straight. Worked on the project everyday after work and every weekend, with my wife. Completed the project after 11 months to completion. I hired an electrician, plumber, and dry wall guys, but we did everything else. The dry wall guys loved now our framing made the job easier for them. The project came out perfect. Thank for doing these videos.
That’s so awesome Greg! Thanks for putting your faith in my training brother…you and your wife should be proud of what you we’re able to accomplish during the project. It still blows me away all of the homeowners who have benefited immensely from these basement finishing videos. Thanks again for your purchase Greg.
As a testament to the how relevant your videos are, my village did a total of 5 inspections on my project. Out of the 5 inspections, 3 of them were for the work I did. Those were framing, insulation, and HVAC. The inspectors were pleased at how correct the work was to the local building code. They said that DIY projects are typically full of mistakes which set the DIYer back in corrections. Flooring, doors, trim, wet bar, framing around various things in every basement, framing windows after the wall frame is raised, opening basement stairways, hanging doors, trim... brilliant! We used every one of the techniques in our project. When people see the basement, I bust my shirt buttons to say, I did it myself! My project topped out at about 30K some of my neighbors spent twice that with contractors. These videos matter!
Everyone watching please note how clean the work area is. Makes working throughout the day so much better. Too many guys overlook this.
Thanks Hugh!~ A clean jobsite is a happy and safe worksite! Appreciate the view my brother! ~Eddie
Eddie, thank you so much for making this video!! I realize it is probably time consuming for you, but I really appreciated it. As a newbie when it comes to DIY basment finishing, I learned so much from this video and others of yours!
Thanks Travis...I appreciate your feedback on this video very much! ~Eddie
This video is for the hardcore basement finishing diy'er looking for all the tips, tricks and know-how they can get their hand's-on.
This is a long monster of video at 1.5 hours!...but there are a ton of good tips in this video that will answer a lot of basement finishing questions.
Good luck with your basement finishing project! Thanks for watching!
~Eddie
Thanx so much of all videos you posted...I've been watching you for a months before corona hit🙄 and I learned enough infos from you I did my basement framing and dry walls and had a professional electrician did my electric job and am on painting section side ....all most done...thanx so much👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you saved me tons of money💙💚❤👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
beautiful video, wonderful job!!!
Thank you Owen! ~Eddie
Hi Eddie, I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I think you do some great work. I do have two questions, though: (1) Why does it seem like all of your work is in newer homes? A lot of the ones in your videos have wall wrap, concrete poured walls, PVC piping, high (for a basement) ceilings, duct board, etc. - all attributes of newer construction. My home was built in 1947, and thus, has some differences. (2) Do you have any tips for building in an old house?
Love your videos. I started my basement after watching. Thoughts on a painted ceiling in basement? I've seen a few nice ones painted.
Great Vid
Love your videos eddie! I am going to tackle my basement in a couple of months but am planning to go the drop ceiling route. Do you ever do drop ceilings or only dry wall? Is it somewhat the same process framing soffits and what not?
I support this content.
If the Insulation wrap is already there, would you recommend keeping it? Or putting foam board up? Which would be better?
Just locked in BFU 2.0...No turning back now :) Lets go!
Let's do this!
What is the Sewer Ejector Pit for? My home only has the toilet and sink plumbing rough ins by the builder. Do I need a pit for a half bath?
When you start framing in a empty basement, does it matter if your concrete floor is uneven in some places? What would you do in this situation? Thanks
What would you recommend for a low ceiling? It’s no higher than 8ft with some sections lower. I was thinking of just leaving it unfinished and just painting it black. Thanks
You can do that...but I'm a drywall ceiling man myself and it looks a lot more like a "real" lower level of the house if you use drywall instead of painting the underside of the floor joists black. Just my opinion mind you and you may like that look! Thanks for watching! ~Eddie
Eddie, two questions.
1. How are you testing the lights if the sub panel isn't hooked up yet?
2. Our basement stairs are rough looking and very noisy. Have you ever had to replace the stairs?
Thanks for all the great videos!
Hi Chris,
We are using a temporary outlet circuit that was already in the basement pre-construction to juice-up our switches until we got the sub-panel hotted up.
We tighten noisy step up by attaching the stairway walls on both sides directly into the stairway stringer boards. We also screw down any noisy steps to the step stingers with drywall screws when needed...we hardly ever replace entire staircases. ~Eddie
Great video. So without the wrap, my bottom plate starts 4.5 inches from the concrete wall of the basement?
That would be correct!
@@BasementFinishingMan I'm putting the owen corning 1 inch foamular 150 glued to the basement wall first before framing.
So all new homes seem to have the drywall attached to the ceiling when its unfinished...new code. When you are tackling a basement with drywall already on the ceiling have you considered taking the drywall down and starting clean? Is there a reason to not rip it all down or is it just so you don't have to do all that labor and get all that dust to start a job?
Correct no need to rip it all down, when all you need to do is cut a few hole in it to get the mechanical work finished. Watch this video for more info on our thinking>>> ua-cam.com/video/iVmcuCJKB3Y/v-deo.html
Eddie
@@BasementFinishingMan Thank you for this reference. I'm about to tackle my basement and the builders drywalled the ceiling. I wasn't sure how to handle that but this answers my question. Thanks.
Eddie, I’ve got a small storage closet at the bottom of my basement stairs. It’s not really attached to the rest of the basement so I can’t build the wall on the ground and hoist it up. Would you toe nail frame those walls? It’s in a really tight spot. Taller than it is wide. 4x4 roughly by nearly 8 ft high.
No I would build whatever I needed in one wall section on the floor as I do in this video...I NEVER toe-nail...ever! ~Eddie
Basement Finishing Man I agree that toenailing can’t be as accurate or as good as what you do/recommend. My situation is I have a finished door and wall on the outside of this closet. It doesn’t look like I’d be able to fit the pre-built wall in the closet through the finished doorframe that is already there though. Since this is not attached to the rest of the basement and the only way in is through that door I can’t really build it on the ground in that tiny space. If you HAD to toenail due to space constraints would you nail the wood to the floor and ceiling first then stick the studs in between or do something else?
@@epperton Yes I suppose I would do it this way...if I was toe-nailing. ~Eddie
Basement Finishing Man thank you sir, excellent work on your videos. Huge fan I’ve been watching them a lot!
Eddie, I noticed you changed the way you start inside corners. Your older videos show the flat stud being placed on the end and the normal stud being placed right next to it at 3.5" from the end of the board. Any reason to change this? What method is better?
Peter Psaras yes it’s a little stronger the we’re doing it now Peter.
Eddie
@@BasementFinishingMan seems like it also has the benefit of better access for turning corners w/ electrical as well as making it possible to insulate inside corners vs. having a void corner.
Sorry if I missed it in the video but how much did a job like this cost?
I never mentioned how much it cost the customer to finish this basement with my company. ~Eddie
One question!! To finish the basement myself do I need a permit !!
Depends on your local codes. Call your city code office and simply ask them.
