Don't bother with permits. You'll just have to pay more in taxes every year on top of the cost of the permits.
I am now in the taping stage of my basement development. I have done everything myself so far and to date it has cost me around $1000.00 yes that's $1000.00.

Like other people have stated, the electrical was super easy.

The only things I'm not soing are the carpet and the bar.

All told when I'm finished it should cost me around $3500.00 for my completed basement. ($3525.00 when I win Gobsgraham's Golden Tee draw!!)
