I think Bars make finished basements look tacky. It makes a family home look rather, ummm, "Fraternity". I do agree that finishing the basement can provide additional living space but don't overdo it.
And no, Earpus, it will not add 10% to the value of the home. I look at appraisals daily, and the line-item adjustment is not 10%. An appraiser would lose his license if he tried to pull this one off.
If you are only investing $1000 in materials and can do the work, it's a great investment.
