potential basement shop - noise question
So we are looking at a new house that has a great unfinished basement for workshop. It has ceiling that are over 10" tall and I would have about 700-800 sqft to play with.
My plans would be to add a door to the bottom of the stairs to help keep dust out, but my biggest concern would be to deal with sound.
For those that have a basement shop how noisy is it on your main floor? I know that I would have to do a good amount of work to try and sound proof it, but if my wife can't be in the kitchen or watching TV on the main floor because the shop noise coming from the basement is too loud we are going to have issues.
Any one have any experience dealing with this???
Thanks,
Derek
