Winter is the perfect time to stay indoors and finish that basement remodel you've been putting off.  Below are some great ideas:

* Add an additional bedroom or bath.  (Remember though, in order for a bedroom to be considered legal, the bedroom you must include a closet and the window has to be large enough to escape through, in case of an emergency)

* Create a family room or rec room

* Turn a portion of your basement into an excercise area

* Build a home office

* A basment is an excellent space for a home theatre

* Install indoor hot tub or sauna
