Taking an unfinished basement to finished
In our house, we have an unfinished basement that I am hoping to finish sometime in the near future. I'm trying to figure out the best way to plan for this, and different ways to approach this.
Currently, all that is down there are the load bearing walls, framed out but not drywalled. A concrete slab flooring, and the stubs for plumbing.
In a perfect world I'd like my basement to include (in order of most desired):
1. Media/Entertainment room (with a mounted projector in the ceiling)
2. A sauna
3. A bar area
4. A pool table area
I have enough room for each of these things, and I know the general layout of how I would like them positioned (many rooms are determined by the load bearing walls).
Alas, I don't have the cash on hand to have all of these projects completed at once! How can I complete these projects piecemeal over a period potentially spanning years? Is there a good way to plan out these projects so that they won't interfere with each other's future construction? Advice? Pointers? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
