If I kept the sliders (which we did) it would not be considered living space and would not be taxable. But, that was in 2015. Now having said all that, I suggest you also investigate what the tax increase would be.....you might be surprised how insignificant it is compared to the expense and the enjoyment you will receive from the project.
Thank you
