My husband and I just finished our basement to use as a bar and home theater. We discovered that by finishing a basement, you can add valuable family area to your home. We didn't, however, find this out the easy way.

After a few good yelling matches, one streak of paint on the side of my husband's face, and a high-speed chase up the stairs and into the backyard, I am ready to tell you how to finish a basement without going crazy. Here are a few tips that we discovered during our interesting basement process.

Choose the Right Insulation:

So, we decided it would be a good idea to install insulation in our basement ourselves. 'Quality time', at least that is what my husband called it. What I think he meant was 'less money.' So, we went right to the store and picked up enough rolls of insulation for finishing a basement that was the our size.

You know, that sheet kind that grows like 5,000 percent when you slit the packaging open? We got to work on that, and within a day and a half we were ready to bury each other in it. We had itchy insulation in places on our bodies that we didn't even know we had.
