wijmafamily asked:


Here’s the dilemma: I would like to extend my deck spanning the whole back side of my house. That would give me a HUGE deck! The addition only is 12X33 ft!
My only concern is that the deck would take away daylight out of my finished basement. We have a play/family room, a bed and a a fullbath in the basement. The deck addition would take away a good amount of light from the play/family room.
So I guess the ultimate question is..
What has more resale value: a huge deck or one room in the basement with either more or less daylight?

Thanks all!
