Finishing a Basement - Part 4 - Laying Out Exterior Walls

Part 4 of my basement finishing project. In this video I discuss layout exterior / perimeter walls for your basement. Many basement foundations will not be necessarily square and you will most likely need to deal with obstructions and obstacles such as plumbing, electrical boxes, HVAC, and other challenges. Prior to starting my project, I had a hard time finding useful information about how to design a basement with the best protection against water and the mold, mildew, mustiness, and rot that eventually come with it. This design is the result of quite a bit of research and discussion with building professionals. I hope this might be helpful to those of you embarking on your own basement finishing or remodeling project.
