    What order do I complete my basement finish project?
    I'm done with framing, plumbing & electrical rough-in, and drywall so what comes after drywall taping? I still have to paint, put a drop ceiling in a section, door installation, trim and flooring. Also, do I install cabinets in the bar area and bath before flooring or after?
    I'm assuming I put down flooring before the toilet flange. Any help would be appreciated.

    Emeril, I'm only putting in base cabinets. So I put in the cabinets before flooring? Do I also put in the toilet before flooring or after?
