Thanks for all the replys guys!I guess it would make alot of sense to finish the basement first,expecially the rafters.Wouldn't want my switching layout to be covered in dirt and dust 
I wasn't figuring in that cost at all,oh well i already have all my rolling stock and engines,etc.Although i have pondered the thought of building the layout with incadesent lighting mounted to the benchwork itself,and a over head dust cover running the length of the layout.Kinda like the "Sweet Home Chicago" layout,where everything is mounted to the layout itself...remember guys i'm on a budjet. 
How-ever,The diecast cars will need a dust-free space to park,just thinking about it all i see are $$$!!!Wow,alot to think about :?
