Project Basement
A brief outline of project basement:
Our goal: finish the basement of our 1917 home. At the conclusion of the project, we'll have a new stairway (less steep with two new stairs added), a carpeted family room, a 10x10 carpeted bedroom, a tiled bathroom with toilet, vanity, and shower, a tiled laundry room, and a semi-finished workroom. At the end of the day, we will have added somewhere around 1000 sq ft of liveable space.
Since we want to eventually add a full 2nd story to our house, we need a strong base. Over the course of the project, our contractor will remove and replace the north & south foundation. Mad Dog will add reinforced concrete foundation. Also, he'll be replacing the main support beam that runs east-west to support the main floor and finished attic. Finally, they'll be completely updating the electricity, adding linked fire alarms, and burying some of the plumbing under the concrete slab.
I'll be adding posts as fun (and not fun) stuff happens.
