Pretty soon, you realize you need a furnace/HVAC system, new plumbing, new paint, refinished floors/new carpet, etc., etc.

I thought I could refinish the basement and add a bathroom ( the plumbing is there ). 

It was built In 1950, and refinished floors, paint, nice dual pane windows, but....the slight sign of clutter makes it look like a disaster.

do you figure that water in.For us in  historic  apartments  we got 50-75 more once the floors were refinished and the place painted but I am not sure that is the amenity or improved condition. 

So what about the cost to refinish the basement?

This idiot takes pictures of some old termite damage in the rafters of a cinder block house with aluminum windows and newly refinished Terrazzo stone, floors.

That floor certainly looks like it was refinished too.

I have had a tub refinished by a professional company before and liked the results.  

The house has freshly refinished hardwood floors and tile in the kitchen.
