Toasty warm!
We've finished framing in the north-east corner of the basement, then added rigid foam insulation, followed by a layer of R-14 in batts (green stuff, whose name escapes me at present). It's much, much warmer down there now . . . and the main floor is also considerably warmer. Once we've got the R-40 stuffed between the foundation and sill plate/floor joists, it should be even warmer.
We've re-wired most of this section of the basement, and installed a sub-panel down there so that we're running less wires through the already Swiss-cheese-like floor joists. We'll have lots of plugs in what will be the workshop, and we've added separate circuits for all of the computer equipment.
The basement bathroom now has a door (pictures to come later, as I neglected to take any this afternoon) and new jamb. We should have drywall within a day or so, closely followed by flooring and plumbing fixtures.
