So, instead of doing the basement, is it possible to trade your family room and your daycare room around? Does the family room have an outside door?

I don't know how your house is layed out, but I was just thinking that at least it's not in the middle of the house then.

You'd then have to put some sort of wall and door up between the new family room and daycare. That would cost less than doing the whole basement. We had a wall and door added to a house a few years ago. My FIL and a buddy did it-took 3 or 4 hours and cost a pitance.

Just an idea. If you current family room is too small, that obviously wont work. And, it still doesn't solve the whole issue, but at least the dc isn't right in the main traffic area.

Does DH have a "man cave"? I know, you probably don't have a "woman cave", but if it would help, is there a place where he can retreat when he's home and the kids are too?
