@AmyCoulter-pq6gt we didn't do a follow up video. I just talked to my wife. She would recommend it bc the collagen stimulation occurred for months after and her fine lines were smoother and wrinkles diminished.

@@matthewgreely7228 I have Sonos and Lorex camera systems throughout inside/outside my house. And Sonance amplifiers for the speakers.

@@starbaby15 it's great!

@istr8b3ast you can probably just cut the foam board to shove up there and make it flush with your foam insulation on the foundation walls. My builder actually put the fiber glass insulation up in there and all the way to the exterior wall. Technically, it can be a moisture risk, but if you just throw the foam insulation up there you will be good.

@@rizwanrafeek3811 agreed!

Hey thanks for the feedback and all good ideas!! Probably a few small things I would have done different, but I'm happy with the process and outcome. Good luck with your projects!

@comedyoferrors77 to be honest, my basement has always been pretty dry. I had a dehumidifier down there and it never ran. The basement does "feel" more sealed and dry though.

@@GenX-RadRat 1,500 square feet. Total quotes were $100-120k to finish it.

@@ryanscottlifts I live in Texas and I can tell you that is a *huge* rip-off

@GenX-RadRat oh I agree...but I live in Connecticut and people and inflation/taxes are nuts here. Only staying here bc work brought me bere

@@951WoodworkDesigns-bx4kn indeed! Dave definitely makes the most of a small space!!

@@Sals-Clips glad it helped

@@starbaby15 yea it's a great time!!

@drdecker1 I honestly wouldn't think there would be a big benefit. At least in a newer house and an all below grade basement. Because I will also be doing R15 insulation between the 2x4 framing, so it'll be super insulated.

@@ryanscottlifts Better seal between the foam. The foam is also there to prevent any moisture from seeping through Into your fiberglass insulation and studs.

@@drdecker1 I hear ya, but the foam boards basically have no gap. Idk, I'd have to see the process you're talking about, but I don't think there would be a "real" advantage. Only an implied advantage. I am not going to save another $10 on my heating bill, and a fully below grade basement won't be drafty.

@@norm4907 so what is the code? Vapor barrier, 2x4 framing and faced insulation only?

@@ryanscottlifts Gyproc covered. Something to do with the fire hazard of styrofoam, not sure if it’s fumes or the melting issues.

@@norm4907 ah ok got it.

@christopherwill4441 nice! The NGX is just the next Gen version (and believe better for the environment). And to be honest it's all my local hardware store sold also.

@infiniti2015 awesome! Glad it helped you out.

Haha at least she's cute

Nice! My inlaws are 40 mins away

@@ryanscottlifts wow!

Yes, you need it. It acts as a vapor barrier as well. So, beyond just a bit of insulation. I'll also put fiberglass insulation between the 2x4s once electric is ran. You don't want your unpressure treated 2x4s flush against the concrete foundation walls.

@@ryanscottliftsexactly as I am doing in my 1940’s home in the basement. My city code recommended the formular 1” rigid for the vapor barrier. Then 2x4 or 6 with rock wool or fiberglass. Minimum is R15 overall.

@mikeminnick9712 amen! I am doing R15 Rockwool in the 2x4 cavity. So, will be R20 overall. Goodluck with your project!

Thanks for watching!

That's really smart. I almost did the channeled sub-floor but my basement is bone dry and has been tested multiple times. That said, 100% with you on the permits. I am waiting until I'm further along to get it all inspected.

@@ryanscottlifts you didn’t mention it yet but what type of insulation/flooring do you think you will do? Great info so far

@Fugalisious I did the foam board against the wall, and then I'll run the fiber insulation between 2x4 framing once the electric is ran. Still undecided ok floor but likely some manufactured flooring. I'll make a video for sure.

Hey thank you! That was a fun trip/good family video.

It was the "laser level 360 self leveling" on Amazon.

Wow! Thank you. This is still my best video to-date. And to think I almost didn't record!

You'll have a blast!

Thanks! And yes, I agree. That said, usually if you just blast with some brake clean, I have found it knocks any blockages out regardless. So far, I've never had to go further to get a small engine to fire up. But good point!

Yes, exactly. It does!

As in you think it's cheap or expensive? It's a 1,500 sq ft space. We were quoted >$100K to finish the entire basement. Imagine building a house. 3,000 sq ft house costs at least $500k in Connecticut now.

Thanks! Glad it's helping you out. Look forward to hearing about your project too!

Thanks man!

Honestly, the lumber was cheaper than the insulation lol. I'm probably $1,500-$2,000 in lumber, screws and nails if I had to guess.

Well the house and the basement was built to code so...

@ryanscottlifts Code dont mean Jack if it's wrong or not followed. That's why there are inspections. If you paid to have it insulated during construction, they would have put rigid foam on the outside. I have seen countless vids of new construction inspections with major, dumb mistakes, and outright stupidity, but YOU installed the insulation? I bought used, with a fully remodeled basement. All the drywall at the floor level was moist. Behind the drywall, stud wall, fiberglass, and vapor barrier, the concrete was dripping wet. It's your house, do what you want. I'm not dissing you, just trying to warn you.

@imnewtothistuff yea I am not arguing, but I have never seen a home with outside insulation on the below grade concrete foundation. And I have watched a ton of homes get built. But I will research it.

@ryanscottlifts I live in Illinois. It's common practice, but its an upcharge so many wait till later and inside it goes! it also makes sense thermodynamicly. Happy framing!

@@ryanscottlifts I am in Michigan and just had a house built and they had the exterior poured basement wall waterproofed and foam board placed. It was standard with their build but i did pay extra to have foamboard placed on the basement floor before the concrete was poured.

Appreciate it!

It's great. I have used it before to provide an engineering drawing for a part I needed made and given the excel file to an actual engineer to put into CAD. He said it was a really cool way for anyone who doesn't know CAD to speak their language.

Awesome dude! We had a blast! Thanks for watching and commenting!

It was fun I'm going June10th

​@@starbaby15I'm going June 16th mabey I'll see you there lol

Ok

Thanks!

Enjoy it!

He manages to get it done. Check out his instagram, he just made a massive cutting board.

Not sure what you're talking about. This is literally the code/correct way to finish a basement

There will be another set of insulation between the 2x4s prior to drywalling

He's referring to putting foam board on the outer walls and back filling them in. It literally doesn't matter how you do it, it all works the same (as long as you have the black tar coating on the outer walls in all underground areas). I am also going to be gluing the foam board to my inner basement walls 👍👍

@@Dorchwoods yep. That's how my foundation is.

For sure! Hoping to edit and get part 2 out this weekend.
