You know; it does. I actually happen to own the exact same house and I'm in the process of renovating the basement.
I always thought I was going to make the bigger half the rec room and the smaller half a bedroom and maybe a bathroom. But after looking at my layout options I decided to make the bigger half the bedroom, bathroom and also laundry room- and the smaller half the rec room.
The one thing I would do is make those basement windows bigger. It's probably $200 per window now, but will be $900-1000 per window after the fact.
It cost me about $400 to rough in the plumbing myself. That was materials, jackhammer rental, and concrete. Cost and PITA factored in it's better to get the builder to do it; however I got to pick the
exact location for the bathroom.
When mine was built they did the framing on the outside walls right to the floor; however when I was in the showhome they didn't anymore. Ask how much extra it was; when I was looking to build with Trico before they wanted around $150 to frame to the floor.
