Wood? Metal? How do I lay out my framing? How do I frame for a door or a window? What about moisture? Sound control? Vapour barrier? Insulation? So much to think about, besides the dreaded bulkheads around beams and duct work! All of this is covered in this segment.
Where should I start? How many screws should I put in? What about the different types of drywall? Should I be concerned about mould? How should I hang my board for the best finishing results? How do the pros do it? All of these things are covered in this segment.
How can I do the mudding and sanding of my project without so much “sanding”?!!! Should I use paper tape or fibreglass tape? Should I use the powder compound or the pre-mixed compound? How do I finish the corners? How many coats do I need? All of this and so much more is covered in this important segment.
BASEMENT FINISHING 101 for Homeowners
Doing it yourself armed with professional trade secrets!
The Basement Finishing 101 Course is designed to equip homeowners with skills that allows them to tackle their own renovation project, specifically in finishing a basement though not limited to a basement, with professional techniques. If you want to know how to do it and how to do it right, this IS the course for you!
If you pay someone to finish your basement, it will likely cost you more than $20,000, most of which is professional labour. You can't avoid ALL of it, but you may be able to save a great deal of it by investing in this training and doing it yourself! If you are seriously considering finishing your basement, this course is a no-brainer make-sense option. You'll save money and you will be empowered with skills that will be useful throughout your entire life.
In recent times, because of the economic situation, people who are in need of more living space are opting to improve their existing home by, among other things, finishing the basement rather than selling and upgrading. We are in "don't-move-but-improve" mode. So learn how to do it yourself!
The course consists of three separate segments: Framing, Drywall Hanging or “Boarding”, and Drywall Finishing or “Taping”.
