Our basement is a just a little smaller than yours and we are in the process of finishing it. DH did one room himself and we are going to hire out most of the rest because DH has the talent but not the time due to his 'real' job. I have been moving things around in the basement to facilitate the finishing and finally I got fed up and am in the process of purging as much as possible. We have one small stoarge room with utility shelving and I want all the 'storage' stuff to fit in there. Honestly it feels great to be free of the clutter (well, not quite free yet -- one unfinished room is full of all the stuff I'm getting rid of which we'll sell at the neighborhood yard sale in June).

We too moved from a home with a finished basement (DH finished it completely by himself) to one that wasn't finished (new construction house) and I can't wait for the basement in this house to be finished!

[quote=sexysmurf;2977257]right now, yes, we do. We have a 2400 sq ft unfinished basement so lots of space. Problem is, we want to finish the basement so all that stuff has to be pushed into a tiny area we aren't going to finish. Our last house had a finished basement (we did it) and our new house doesn't so we have a lot of furniture and "stuff" that is for the basement but it's not done.
