My spouse & I bought a house about five years ago, it was not exactly what my associate and I wanted, but my associate and I had a vision to make it our dream home.
One of the things that my associate and I planned on doing was finishing the basement.
It is a large space that is just wasted… We wanted to finish it so that our children could come house & have their own space. We planned to add a mini kitchen to the space as well as three bedrooms & a full size powder room. It was a great plan, but my associate and I have never acted on it. I decided to start doing something myself to make it feel more homey down there; The first thing that I did was added a boiler because it was quite cold, then right now, it is just one immense open space, so I thought that one boiler would do the trick, but it does not. It brings the temperature up to about sixty degrees, however for some people, sixty degrees may be warm enough but not for my teenagers! My teenagers are a lot like me when it comes to being cold all of the time. My child keeps his house at about seventy-five degrees year round because he gets cold genuinely easily. I know that I am going to have to buy another boiler to put down there now. The one boiler just won’t split it. I hope that the space will be more inviting once I have more furniture & another boiler down there. I plan to make it look as nice as possible as well as keep it as warm as possible within reason.
