ductwork. floor is 9x9 tiles. i am thinking of remodeling it, which would
include framing walls. what are good ballpark estimates? just basic
drywall construction, carpet over the tiles. i live in the
balt/wash area.

Dude, didn't you ask this question and people said you needed to
provide more information? You still do.

When you're finished "thinking of remodeling" the basement, and you get
into the planning stages, you'll get serious and pick up the damn
phone. It won't kill you. It won't kill the contractor - they don't
get every job they take a look at, so suck it up and call one.

actually no, people didn't ask me to provide more information. that is why
i reposted.

A). Don't email me. A newsgroup is an open forum. Let's keep it that
way.

B). There were two very similar questions posted recently, which also
left out critical information, and that's why I confused the three.
The fact that the other posters had your screenname, used your exact
wording and live in your house also confused me. You started three
separate threads, titled: remodel?, basement question, and basement
remodel using the exact same post each time.

C). I don't understand how you can ask for "good ballpark estimates"
when you leave out the most basic information. Reread you post, any
one will do since they're all the same, and ask yourself why anyone
would bother to answer a price question when there isn't even an
indication of the size of the area.

D). You're wasting your time even if you gave the exact area. There
are so many variables that the ballpark could be plus or minus 200%.
In other words a meaningless number. A meaningless number will not
help you make anything other than a bad decision.

E). Even if you get a "perfect" number in response to your post, it's
still not useful unless the guy giving the number is going to do the
construction. Otherwise, what are you going to do when your local
contractor gives an estimate that isn't as attractive as the "perfect"
one? Tell him that his price is higher than some random guy's on the
internet who had never seen your house? If so, be prepared to be
laughed at in the face.

F). My original advice still stands. Pick up the phone and call
someone.

A- as ricodjour said dont Email me, especaily with your "Asshole "
response
B - is it a 100sq ft basement or 1500sq ft. kinda logical nobody can
price anything without size
C local has ecerything to do with price

actually, two posts, not three tough guy!

Early onset of Alzheimer's perhaps? I listed the subject lines of your
three posts. Don't take my word for what you posted - go check.

It's a good rule to not make up stuff on newsgroups - it's so easy to
check who's wrong.

R

no, just two: basement question and remodel. sort by "from" and those are
the only two related ones you get.

Check the message IDs and posting dates. Three separate threads on the
same incomplete question. If you'd taken half of the amount of time to
think about your original question as you've spent defending your
mistaken belief about your posting frequency, you _might_ have gotten
some useful information. Scratch that. You did get useful
information. Pick up the ****ing phone.

I'll save you the trouble of responding. PLONK.

you forgot about the post of the gang-bang with your wife.
