DIY Home Projects

I wish I was more handy. I want to redob the ceiling in my basement and add in some drywall. I have a lot of room in my basement lookes like 1 room was a stormshelter/ bedroom. 1 was a bar with enough room to be a dining room. Then a big room whiched housedthe washer n dryer, water heater, and gas furnace. Overall I like to turn it into one big mancave. Right now its a bug magnet and I would need a good way to keep them out of the house before I do the ceiling, than I will need to rebuild the bar , lay in carpet. And replace the windows. All together I estimate 10,000$
I was also considarding adding a bathroom downstairs because I have a outside door that leads to the basement and I'm thinking of renting it out as a duplex once its all finished

The people living next door converted there garage into a small studio apartment which I might considard as well. However that would cost a lot more than what it might be worth... plus my house was made in 1919 or so.
