Basement Bedrooms for Dummies

This basement needs more than a bigger
window if you''re building a bedroom!
Maybe other netizens shrug it off, but we've become quite tired of the huge stream of content – most of it bad – that starts out with the phrases "10 Tips for..." and "The 10 best..." Although Google's updates truly piss us off sometimes, we sure wish they'd lower the page ranking of this and similar crap in their next update. Anyhow, that brings us to our Dumbass of the Day, InfoBarrel style. He (she? it?) calls himself EnterprisingInvestor and specializes in two things: rental property and bait-and-switch. He showed his skill at both in "7 Tips for Adding a Basement Bedroom." Oh, well, at least it's seven instead of ten...

If you're like us, you probably expect Enterprising to address topics like HVAC, moisture control, soundproofing, decorating, and other important points. Enterprising's seven tips? Here you go:

  1. Add a window
  2. Get help installing a window
  3. Be neat when installing a window
  4. Make sure the window is above ground.
  5. Use a casement window.
  6. Add a second window
  7. Measure twice, cut once.
Now we ask you: is that "7 Tips for Adding a Basement Bedroom"? or is it "4 Tips for Adding a Window to your Basement"? If you can convince yourself that it's the former, you might be just as dumb an ass as our Dumbass of the Day, EnterprisingInvestor!
