Description
Are you looking to refresh your home with a budget makeover, but aren't sure where to start? Look no further. Get remodeling tips and ideas that won't break the bank.
A
A
How
many
of
you
have
pre-1970
homes,
okay
and
the
rest,
your
post,
1970
or
just
here
for
the
entertainment
value
somebody
came
in
earlier
today
and
talked
about
basements
in
the
older
homes
and
part
of
what
starts
to
happen
with
a
lot
of
these
projects
is
as
soon
as
you
update
the
walls.
As
soon
as
you
update
the
space
in
any
significant
way,
you
fall
under
code
compliance
issues,
which
makes
makes
it
a
larger,
more
complete,
better
finished
project.
But
people
come
in
and
be
like.
A
Well,
we
just
want
the
walls
redone
and,
unfortunately,
as
well,
get
into
it
that
you
get
into
more
than
just
walls,
so
we
have
three
design,
studio,
location,
st.
Paul,
Minneapolis,
south
Minneapolis.
This
is
your
closest
one.
It's
also
our
newest
showroom
with
a
fair
amount
of
product
on
display
there
and
designers
to
help
people
with
selections.
That
was
the
goal
of
these
to
eliminate
some
of
the
running
around
that
you
can
get
into
whenever
you're
doing
remodeling.
A
So
we're
going
to
go
through
today
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
first,
and
this
is
kind
of
where
I
lay
into
a
lot
of
the
details
of
the
planning
process,
design
and
layout
and
so
forth,
will
talk
about
some
products.
Timing
of
the
remodel
and
remodeling
timing
does
vary
depending
on
which
project
you're
doing
kitchens
are
different
than
basements
are
different
than
second-story
dormer
type
work
we'll
give
you
some
idea
of
the
costs
we're
seeing
out
there.
A
We've
got
some
before
and
after
pictures,
just
kind
of
show
you
what
can
be
done,
and
then
we
got
some
resources
for
you
when
we
start
a
project.
Every
project
that
we
do
starts
with
basically
the
same
design
process
flow
and
as
you're
looking
at
these
spaces.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
come
have
a
meeting
at
your
home.
That's
our
sort
of
free
upfront
meeting
to
meet
with
you
about
what
you
want
to
accomplish.
A
A
What
you'd
like
to
have
happen
in
our
case
will
do
the
photographing
and
estimating
an
email
back
a
line
item
estimate
because
oftentimes
these
things
end
up
being
more
than
what
people's
conceive
of
initially
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
a
well
done
project
and
the
budget
that
ties
to
it
makes
sense
for
homeowners,
sometimes
will
do
that
second
meeting
in
the
showroom
to
look
at
products,
inspirations
and
ideas.
Other
people
would
just
prefer
to
get
to
the
the
layout
of
the
project
before
they
get
into
product
selection.
A
We
do
have
after
we
do
this
preliminary
part.
We
have
a
design
and
planning
fee.
It's
about
two
percent
of
the
projected
project
price.
So,
if
you're
looking
at
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
basement,
it's
going
to
be
a
six-hundred-dollar
design
and
planning
fee
for
us
that
takes
you
through
all
the
selections,
the
site
visits
say
we're
doing
a
bathroom
in
the
basement.
We
gotta
have
the
plumber
there.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
know
we're
getting
into
before
we
get
to
a
contract,
and
that
kind
of
thing
this
fee
would
cover
our
drawing
some
of
our
drawing
time.
Some
of
our
design
time
and
also
make
sure
that
the
homeowners
are
on
board
to
work
together.
Then
we
go
through
the
process
which
the
next
few
slides
will
detail.
Initial
plans
selections
more
detailed
plans.
A
Pricing
contractor
pretty
important,
as
you
can
see,
under
the
design
piece
we're
trying
to
figure
everything
out
before
we
get
to
a
contract
so
that,
hopefully,
with
Castle
when
you
get
to
a
contract,
we'll
have
a
guaranteed
completion
timeline
because
we've
worked
hard
to
figure
out
all
the
details,
so
we'll
say
30
working
days,
we're
out
of
here.
Otherwise
weíll
you
forty
dollars
a
day.
We
also
really
want
to
limit
any
change
orders
once
we
reach
a
contract.
So
we
do
a
lot
more
upfront
planning
than
some
of
the
other
builders.
A
They'll
leave
more
allowances
in
there.
I
don't
want
an
allowance
for
your
carpeting
or
your
tile.
I
want
an
actual
selection
so
that
we
can
get
the
price
for
that
Tyler
for
that
carpeting.
The
other
thing
in
basements
is,
depending
on
the
condition
of
your
floor
and
whether
it's
bumpy
are
smooth
and
it's
you
know
concrete,
finding
a
material
that
works
well
to
cover
that
space
is
really
important
in
the
design
process.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
that
upfront
and
again
as
you're.
A
Looking
at
these
spaces
yourself
and
you
kind
of
see
what
I
walk
through
as
much
of
that
information
is
you
can
collect,
draw
take
pictures
of
a
notes
up
front
is
pretty
critical.
We
use
a
software
called
da
chief
architect,
it's
a
pretty
expensive
CAD
related
software,
so
these
would
be
some
preliminary
conceptual
plans
based
on
a
given
basement
layout
and
you're.
A
Looking
really
at
the
layouts,
the
traffic
flow
in
a
lot
of
the
older
homes
you're
going
to
have
a
furnace
in
one
place,
you're
going
to
have
an
electrical
panel
over
here
and
a
gas
input
over
there.
So
you
may
want
spaces
to
turn
out
a
certain
way,
but
unless
you're
interested
in
moving
a
furnace,
we
need
to
work
around
the
mechanicals
that
are
there.
You
can
see
in
this
case
in
the
media
room
they
built
a
little
closet
or
on
a
gas
meter.
A
So
there's
ways
you
can
hide:
what's
there
so
doing
some
initial
sketches
and
drawings
and
moving
the
spaces
around
this
phase
can
help
you
decide
how
to
get
the
best
lay
out
for
you
for
what
the
house
already
is
thrilling
at
you
and
move
things
around
and
see
what
makes
sense.
Bathrooms
usually
are
located
somewhere
near
the
plumbing
stack
that
foreign
stack
you
see
in
the
basement.
A
You
don't
have
to
do
that,
but
if
you
move
it
further
away,
then
you've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
to
extend
that
plumbing
line
below
the
slab
back
to
where
you
want
your
bathroom,
when
we're
working
with
clients
will
talk
about
like
a
price
variation.
If
the
bathroom
is
not
working
out
right
by
the
stack,
what
it
might
cost
to
move
it
across
the
room,
this
is
it
just
a
3d
axonometric
graph
of
this
basement.
A
So
again
it
more
planning
copying
what
we're
doing
here
by
trying
to
get
as
much
of
this
thought
through
on
paper,
and
there
are
some
nice
little
drawing
programs
that
you
can
get
for
your
home
PC
that
allow
you
to
do
some
of
this
stuff
here,
we're
indicating
a
point
here
where
we
found
a
layout.
We
like
where
the
rooms
are
we
like,
where
the
walls
are,
we've
determined,
whether
or
not
we
need
an
egress
window
in
a
basement
bedroom.
That's
indicated
here
that
looks
like
a
standard
window.
A
Communicating
with
your
city
about
egress
windows
is
critical.
I
have
had
a
few
situations
where
it
was
an
office,
so
it
was
just
a
doorway
into
a
room.
Didn't
have
a
closet
in
there
and
this
was
in
st.
Paul,
but
they
called
it
a
bedroom
and
we
had
to
fight
about
whether
or
not
they
want
to
make
the
homeowners
pay
three
thousand
dollars
for
another
egress.
They
already
had
one
in
the
other
room.
So
that's
the
tricky
one
you
can
actually
see.
A
We've
indicated
here
on
the
family
room
egress
are
fabulous
for
bringing
in
light
fresh
air
and
giving
you
a
good
sense
of
not
being
below
grade
in
a
basement.
They
do
cost
money,
and
it's
that
probably
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
in
the
planning
process
communicating
what
the
city
can
really
help
that
you
don't
make
a
mistake
on
how
many
are
where
those
egress
windows
go.
A
These
are
3d
views
generated
by
our
PC
software,
so
these
are
not
photographs.
These
are
renderings
created
by
the
software
again
going
through
the
design
phase
and
being
able
to
think
through
now,
we've
got
our
spaces
laid
out.
Are
these
cabinets
white?
Are
they
cherry?
Are
they
oak?
Are
they
walnut,
etc?
So
all
the
materials
that
you
see
here
we
work
through
and
we
start
making
selections
another
nice
way
to
do
this.
If
you
don't
have
3d
software
is
just
to
find
pictures
via
magazines
or
the
internet.
A
If
you
use
a
Pinterest
or
a
house
that
can
be
a
great
way
to
communicate
to
a
cabinet
guy.
This
is
the
cabinet's
style
that
I'm
looking
for
and
getting
some
help
with
your
vision,
turning
into
the
reality
of
the
space,
but
these
3d
views
can
be
really
helpful
for
homeowners,
because
we
can
look
at
the
space
a
lot
of
times.
We've
got
shortened
ceiling
heights
and
basements.
We
are
indicating
a
beam
here.
A
Here's
a
soffit,
there's,
probably
some
air
hvc
running
through
there
and
that's
pretty
important
to
see
because,
as
you
envision,
your
basement,
those
are
realities
versus
up
on
your
main
floor,
there's
less
obstruction.
So
how
do
those
realities
affect
the
space
and
make
you
feel
about
it?
This
is
interesting
here,
where
they
snuck
in
a
bank
uppers
in
where
there,
where
the
HBC
softening
wasn't
so
there's
all
kinds
of
cool
things
you
can
do
to
work
around
it,
but
it
takes
a
level
of
creativity,
and
this
software
helps
us
do
that
with
you.
A
Now
it's
getting
into
some
of
the
things,
because
we
are
talking
now
about
how
we're
finishing
these
spaces
a
lot
of
basements
get
an
added
bathroom
one
thing:
I'll
get
a
call
from
folks
who
have
an
older
home
and
they'll,
be
like
there's
a
toilet
down
there
and
a
50
year
old
shower.
We
want
to
update
it
typically,
that
old,
toilet
and
that
old
shower
does
not
have
proper
legal
plumbing
venting.
So
it
actually
is
more
in
the
way
than
helpful
and
so
you'll
work
through
that.
Are
we
adding
a
bathroom?
A
A
Are
we
using
upstairs
as
a
model,
or
are
we
really
going
to
do
something,
creative
and
different,
and
that's
going
to
affect
a
lot
of
these
choices
when
we're
done
in
a
lower
level,
we'll
see
in
the
pictures
later,
I
am
seeing
more
white
millwork
off
light,
millwork,
even
off
white
cabinetry,
just
because
of
the
feeling
of
wanting
to
brighten
it
up
down
there.
That
theme
will
be
picked
up
in
the
lighting
as
well,
but
we're
below
grade.
A
Flooring.
Flooring
is
a
really
interesting
concept
right
now
in
lower
levels.
The
reality
is
carpeting
is
the
easiest
solution.
It
rolls
nicely
over
old
slabs
that
aren't
exactly
flat
anymore.
It
warms
up.
It
creates
an
insulation
break
between
your
slab
and
your
feet
that
slabs
always
going
to
be
about
50
55
degrees.
A
Basically,
once
you
get
below
the
frost
line
on
the
sidewall,
your
basement
you're
just
dealing
with
the
general
temperature
of
the
ground
when
it's
not
frozen
50-ish
degrees
all
year
round
in
the
summer,
that's
kind
of
nice,
because
it's
free
cooling
in
the
winter
can
be
a
little
cold
on
the
feet.
Sowcarpet
easily
resolves
those
two
issues,
but
if
there's
water
in
the
basement,
carpets,
not
happy
for
people
with
allergies,
carpet,
isn't
an
ideal
solution
and
they've
done
a
lot
of
improvements
in
the
carpets.
A
But
carpets
do
have
a
lot
of
the
more
interesting
chemicals
that
people
are
trying
to
do
to
have
less
in
their
homes.
So
then
we
might
get
into
the
vinyls
vinyl
tiles
sheet
goods.
Things
like
that.
A
lot
of
great
products
in
that
arena
challenge
being
if
you've
got
a
really
irregular,
beat
up
floor.
Those
products
may
not
be
as
amenable
to
bridging
the
gaps.
The
cracks
and
the
things
like
that.
So
you
gotta
Kate,
take
a
good
look
at
the
product.
You're
trying
to
put
down
the
condition
of
the
floor.
A
A
The
other
thing
we're
seeing
on
floors
now
is
just
to
treat
the
concrete.
If
it's
in
half
decent
shape,
and
you
can
stain
it,
you
can
clear
coat
it.
You
can
even
color
it,
and
so
that
can
be
the
basis
of
your
space
and
then
you
throw
rugs
on
top
of
it,
and
things
like
that
to
keep
you
warm
and
cozy
finishes.
A
Brushed.
Nickel
gray
is
neutral
here,
they're
talking
about
your
door,
knobs
your
cabinet
knobs.
Maybe
your
light
fixture
trams
things
like
that
and
the
brush
nickels
and
the
statins
are
still
very
popular.
Even
a
shiny
chrome
is
still
pretty
popular.
The
oil
rubbed
colors,
the
brown
colors
we're
not
seeing
as
much
of
again
in
the
basement
with
that
idea
of
lightening
it
up.
A
It
just
tends
to
be
that
the
things
that
are
chosen
down
there
really
are
to
try
to
create
a
sense
of
of
light
and
warmth
together,
and
then
we
get
into
lighting
here
and
just
see
if
there's
another
line
lighting
in
a
basement.
So
as
you're
thinking
about
this,
if
you're
doing
your
drawings
and
doing
your
design
and
you're
wandering
through
the
basement,
you
want
to
have
lighting.
A
You
want
to
have
good
lighting
a
lot
of
the
basements,
and
a
lot
of
the
lighting
of
the
last
20
years
has
been
sort
of
driven
by
the
recessed.
Can
lights
the
reality
of
recessed
cans?
Is
they
are
fairly
expensive?
They
run
about
125
to
175
per
install.
They
also
create
a
very
conical
type
of
light.
The
other
challenge
in
a
basement
is
if
you've
got
a
lot
of
mechanical
obstructions,
and
you
want
this
nice
grid
layout,
for
your
can
lights.
The
things
that
are
in
the
ceiling
may
not
allow
for
that.
A
So
can
lights
are
a
solution,
but
I
encourage
you
not
to
default
to
them.
I
think
a
recess
can
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
stairs
where
you're
landing
and
stepping
into
the
basement.
That's
when
that
real
bright
conical-shaped
light
is
great
for
lighting
up
the
bottom
stairs,
so
you
don't
trip
on
your
face
and
things
like
that,
but
out
into
the
room
my
electrician
will
put
in
an
electrical
box
that
can
be
switched
box
and
switch
together.
A
Let's
say
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
bucks,
whereas
the
125
to
170
was
just
one:
can
lights
standing
alone
and
then
you
can
get
a
ceiling-mounted
fixture
that
spread
lights,
spreads,
light
laterally,
so
two
three
ceiling
mount
fixtures
might
do
the
job
of
six
or
eight
cans
and
can
provide
better
light.
We
are
getting
into
some
of
the
LED
some
of
the
low-energy
long
life
bulbs
in
any
of
these
fixtures.
A
Whether
they're
ceiling
mounted
whether
they're
recessed
cans
biggest
thing
with
any
of
the
unique
lighting,
is
to
be
aware
of
how
you
feel
about
the
cast
and
hue
of
that
light.
I
still
I
mean
I'm
in
the
industry,
and
I
go
to
the
store
and
I
forget
which
CFL
I
liked
and
I'll
buy
the
one
that's
too
blue
and
then
I'll
have
to
go
my
daughter's
closet,
because
I
don't
want
to
look
at
it
anymore.
A
I'm
looking
for
the
one,
that's
warmer,
we
actually
in
the
twin
cities
and
the
midwest
really
have
a
unique
view
on
light.
We
tend
to
like
the
light
that
casts
a
little
bit
more
yellow
orange
in
other
parts
of
the
country.
They
like
that
brighter
white
blue
light,
which
that
a
lot
of
times
they
call
an
outdoor
light.
Ultimately,
it
can
make
a
big
difference
on
how
you
feel
about
it.
A
So
do
it
going
to
a
Lighting,
Store
or
the
home
depot
menards
display
where
they
have
all
the
lights
and
the
variance
ratings
of
them
and
so
forth
is
really
critical,
because
you
can
have
a
fine
fixture,
wrong,
bulb
and
you're
not
happy
with
it.
So
that's
kind
of
critical
here,
one
other
thing:
that's
neat
in
basements
or
wall
sconces,
because
they
make
things
feel
longer.
They
give
us
a
destination.
A
They
cast
light
in
a
different
direction
so
as
we're
trying
to
make
this
space
bright,
habitable
and
fun
to
be
in
it's
just
another
source
of
light
and
then
usually
there's
some
lamps
or
something
like
that
set
up.
But
that
kind
of
runs
down
me
the
things
you
want
to
think
about
when
you're
lighting
a
basement
other
items
to
consider
yep.
A
Obviously
one
when
we
are
in
basements
water
and
moisture,
is
a
critical
issue.
I
have
an
associate
who
works.
Michelangelo
owns
a
gala
and
chill
design,
they
do
a
lot
of
green
type,
design
very
earth
friendly
stuff,
and
he
won't
do
a
basement
without
somebody
first
putting
in
drain
tile
period,
it's
3
grand
4
grand
to
put
in
drain
tile.
A
But
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
basements
that
even
we're
doing
I
mean
if
you're
up
to
30
40,
50
thousand
dollars
investing
in
a
basement
that
has
a
bedroom
and
a
bathroom
in
a
family
room,
it
makes
some
sense.
But,
however,
you
do
it.
You
got
to
be
real
honest
with
yourself
about
the
history
of
water
in
this
room
that
you're
about
to
bunch
dump
a
bunch
of
money
into
about.
A
Eighty-Five
percent
of
water
in
basements
will
be
handled
with
grading
and
gutters
I
think
this
message
is
getting
out
there,
because
I
meet
with
more
and
more
clients
and
they're
like
yeah.
We
did
the
gutters
last
year
and
we're
out
last
spring
grading
away
from
the
house.
So
a
lot
of
people
get
that
they're
doing
that
for
their
homes,
which
does
a
great
job
of
keeping,
as
I
said
about
eighty
percent
of
the
water.
A
Out
of
your
residential
basement,
the
rest
of
it
probably
is
a
percolating
groundwater
type
of
a
problem,
and
the
only
resolution
to
that
is
the
drain
tile,
where
they
literally
put
tubes
around
the
basement
perimeter
to
collect
it
a
bucket
in
the
corner
to
run
it
into
and
a
pump
to
shoot
it
out.
So
that
system
is
really
expecting
that
there's
always
the
potential
of
water
and
it
actively
pumps
it
out
of
your
basement,
but
before
we
get
in
there
with
nice,
expensive,
pretty
finished
products
really
important
to
look
at
the
history
of
water.
A
Moisture
in
that
basement,
a
lot
of
its
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
you'll
know.
You
know
if
your
neighbors
have
issues
it's
probably
throughout
the
area,
then,
as
we
talked
about
before
the
use
of
the
space
and
the
big
rooms,
we're
seeing
the
family
room,
the
office,
the
bathroom,
more
finished,
laundry's,
unfinished
storage
as
much
as
we're
finishing
a
basement,
people
would
be
really
anxious
about
the
amount
of
storage
that's
left
over.
So
in
our
design,
we
deal
with
that
and
again
as
you're
drawing
it
out.
A
If
there's
a
nice
living
room
space
over
here
and
your
mechanicals
are
more
centered
on
the
other
side,
use
that
mechanical
side
put
a
wall
up,
put
shelves
out
and
have
unfinished
storage.
Remember
that
you
can
maintain
storage
in
spaces
that
are
unique.
Maybe
it's
where
the
water
meter
is
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
dedicated.
A
The
classic
I
guess
description
would
be
a
room
with
the
door
in
a
closet,
but
I
have
run
into
it,
where
it's
a
room
with
the
door
and
they're
like
well
you're,
going
to
roll
a
wardrobe
in
there
when
we're
out
of
here,
so
just
make
sure
what
the
expectations
of
the
local
law
inspecting
authorities
will
be.
As
far
as
that
goes.
A
Yep,
okay:
we've
done
a
little
bit
of
these
again.
The
lighting
so
critical
down
there
to
get
it
right
to
have
enough
to
have
a
controllable
via
dimmers
or
separate
switches
or
three-way
switches.
So
you
can
turn
those
lights
to
relate
to
the
stair
off
at
the
top
and
the
bottom
things
like
that
insulation.
A
A
So
a
lot
when
I
started
my
career,
the
jet
the
deal
was
you
put
a
poly,
vapor
barrier,
so
clear
plastic
up
against
the
concrete,
and
then
you
put
your
studs
and
then
you
put
the
pink
fiberglass
in
there
and
then
you
put
another
piece
of
plastic
in
front
of
it
and
over
time.
If
you
got
water
into
that,
it
wasn't
going
anywhere
because
it's
surrounded
by
two
pieces
of
plastic
and
soaked
up
by
a
big
pink
sponge,
and
that
was
cold.
That's
what
we're
you
know!
A
We
were
expected
to
do
and
it
did
not
function.
Well.
The
minimum
today
that
I'm
doing
in
basements
the
sort
of
entry
level
assembly
is
I'll,
take
inch
and
a
half
thermax
foams.
So
now
we're
dealing
with
a
foam
board,
a
hardboard
that
won't
absorb
water.
Often
we
use
a
foil
face
where
it's
tough.
It's
got
foil
stuck
to
the
back
to
it.
That'll
go
up
against
the
the
concrete.
So
with
that,
we
going
to
moisture
barrier
a
little
bit
of
moisture
up
against
that
foil.
Face
thermax
won't
cause
any
problems.
A
There's
nothing
there
for
mold
to
eat.
It
will
kind
of
evaporate.
Back
into
your
block,
because
your
basement
block
is
always
has
a
moisture
content
depending
on
at
the
time
of
the
year,
it's
pushing
a
little
bit
into
your
home
or
taking
a
little
bit
out,
but
it
will
always
be
breathing
a
level
of
moisture.
So
we
want
something
up
against
it.
That
will
get
not
sopping
wet,
but
it
will
get
a
moisture
to
it.
We
don't
want
to
have
a
problem,
so
we
do
that
inch
and
a
half
thermax.
A
Then
we
frame
an
empty
space
on
the
inside
of
that
with
two
by
fours
treated
on
the
bottom,
so
that
our
treated
lumber
sitting
on
the
concrete
floor
again,
there's
moisture
coming
out
of
that
and
won't
be
bothered
by
it.
And
then
we
don't
put
any
insulation
in
that
assembly.
What's
nice
is
we
can
run
our
electrical
through
there
and
it's
wide
open
and
the
electrician
loves
us
and
it
looks
great
and
we
don't
have
anything
in
there.
That's
particularly
amenable
to
a
light
water
intrusion.
A
You've
got
a
lot
of
water
in
your
home,
a
lot
of
water
coming
through.
You
just
got
to
consider
that
before
you
do
the
basement.
If
you
have
a
horrible
event
down
the
road
where
all
of
a
sudden
you
get
water,
that's
why
we
have
insurance,
but
we're
trying
to
do
some
things
that
do
eliminate
the
opportunities
for
mold
to
grow.
The
opportunities
for
uncomfortable
moisture
to
exist
in
a
basement,
and
this
assembly
is
what
I
believe
to
be
the
best
right
now.
A
The
sort
of
next
step
up,
Lexus
version
of
that
is
the
spray
foam.
You
see
some
of
the
guys
in
the
insulating
industry
out
here
displaying
some
of
their
spray
foams.
If
we
can
spray
that
right
onto
the
block
for
an
inch
or
two
and
then
use
a
steel,
stud
you're
a
little
more
resistant
to
water,
but
you
can
imagine
it
stills
going
to
have
sheetrock
on
it.
A
Even
if
it's
a
XP,
low,
moisture
sheetrock,
it's
probably
going
to
have
a
little
base
molding
on
there,
so
again,
a
minimal
water
protection
system
that
the
basement
floods.
That's
why
we
have
insurance
and
then
I
think
we
talked
earlier
about
that
carpet
versus
hard
surface
heat
sources
as
well.
Do
any
of
you
have
hot
water
heat
in
the
home?
A
A
You're
hvc
professional
typically
will
look
at
the
size
of
the
room,
determine
how
many
supplies
and
returns
you
need
and
get
that
taken
care
of,
so
that
really
with
the
thermax
insulation
on
the
outside
wall
and
the
proper
number
of
supplies
and
returns
to
either
the
room
or
rooms.
You
want
to
finish.
A
That'll
give
you
a
very
comfortable,
very
nice
space
and
that's
another
one
of
the
things
where
I'll
walk
into
a
basement
that
was
finished
30
years
ago,
and
it
feels
like
it's
really
close
and
then
I'm
I'll
ask
them
how
comfortable
it
is
in
there
a
well.
They
didn't
run
the
right
amount
of
heat
supplies.
Maybe
they
ran
none.
Maybe
they
cut
a
hole
from
the
furnace
room
to
the
the
rec
room
and
that's
all
that's
coming
through.
A
A
Privacy
of
bathroom
door
placement
as
we
get
into
design
and
we're
doing
that
layout.
One
of
the
key
things
is:
you
know:
where
do
you
want
that
bathroom?
Is
it
adjoining
a
bedroom?
Is
it
more
off
of
a
family
room
for
everybody
to
use,
and
then
we
do
get
questions
about
sound
deadener
xin,
the
wall?
If
people
want
to
keep
the
kid
noise
in
the
basement,
if
they
want
to
keep
the
bathroom
noise
away
from
a
family
room,
there's
some
pretty
basic
ways
that
sound
deaden.
A
You
can
take
insulation
but,
as
I
said
before,
I,
don't
love
that
below
grade
the
one
that
really
works.
Pretty
nice
is
called
a
hat
channel
and
that's
a
little
piece
of
metal
that
the
drywaller
will
supply
and
install
on
your
studs
and
then
hang
the
sheetrock
on
to
that.
So
basically,
instead
of
that
sheetrock
getting
drilled
straight
to
the
stud,
it
gets
drilled
do
a
little
linear
piece
of
sheet
metal.
That's
got
to
bend
to
it
and
keeps
that
vibration
down
and
reduces
the
noise.
It's
really
an
expensive
ad,
most
drywallers.
A
A
Labor
dollars
so
when
castle
as
cat
castles
been
around
since
nineteen
seventy-four,
I
think
our
current
owner
Lorne
his
father,
started
in
74
and
they
had
a
transition
and
Marty's
out.
That's
the
father.
He's
up
playing
around
in
semi-retirement
comes
by
and
bugs
us
every
once
in
a
while,
but
as
we
went
into
the
sort
of
building
recession
that
took
place
starting
in
08
and
we're
trying
to
really
look
at,
how
can
we
be
a
better
asset
to
homeowners
that
want
to
do
construction?
And
that's
really
where
this
basement
out
of
budget
came
from?
A
One
of
the
things
we
led
with
is
shared
work
before
the
you
know,
when
the
builders
are
sort
of
living
high
on
the
hog
and
everybody
had
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
on
their
house
to
throw
at
it,
they
genuinely
would
say
we'll.
Do
the
building
stay
out
of
the
way,
that's
the
way
it
works.
There
are
insurance
reasons
we're
not
going
to
be
cutting
next
to
you,
cutting,
etc,
but
there
were,
but
a
lot
of
it
was
just
because
the
industry
wanted
to
do
things
the
way
the
industry
want
to
do
it.
A
So
we
get
into
a
lot
of
sharing.
So
as
we
get
to
our
budgeting
phase
and
we're
looking
at
trying
to
meet
a
budget
for
a
client,
they
can
do
some
demo
a
lot
of
mildew
painting.
That's
probably
one
that
hasn't
come
up
yet
professional
painting
is
expensive,
quite
expensive,
a
lot
of
the
times.
It's
worth
it.
We
have
had
those
projects
where
my
designers
get
done
with
it.
The
homeowner
painted
it
and
the
designer
goes
to
see
how
everything
looks
and
they
shed
a
little
tear
because
it
just
wasn't
handled
too
well.
A
It
certainly
is
something
that
a
lot
of
people
if
they
take
the
time
if
they
prep
right
and
prepping,
is
really
what
painting
is
all
about,
can
save
quite
a
bit
of
money.
Sometimes
it's
flooring
sometimes
will
leave
the
floor
left
alone
and
the
homeowners
will
go
to
adjust
a
carpet
store
and
get
flooring
installed
as
a
showroom
based
entity
Castle.
A
We
provide
a
lot
of
products
that
we
are
representatives
of
or
vendors
up,
so
we're
able
to
get
some
really
nice
deals
on
product,
but
there
are
times
where
scoot
enough
to
what
is
Georgia
carpet
supply
or
one
of
those
and
finding
a
real
basic
carpet,
treats
a
client
better
financially
and
allows
them
to
do
the
project
and
we're
open
to
that,
and
then
we'll
have
clients
that
either
have
an
uncle
who's.
An
electrician
or
maybe
they've
done
some
tile
in
the
past,
and
things
like
that.
A
So
again,
that
sharing
of
work
is,
is
just
fine
with
us,
we'll
kind
of
go
through
the
rules
and
expectations.
If
you're
going
to
take
over
and
do
some
tile
in
the
middle
of
our
work,
and
we
have
a
timeline
guarantee,
we
might
have
to
alter
that
timeline,
guarantee
either
stop
it
and
restart
it.
Just
because
maybe
you're
going
to
paint
for
a
couple
weekends
in
a
row,
whereas
were
there
during
the
week.
A
The
other
thing
that
we
look
at
on
shared
labor
is
just
making
sure
that
we
understand
where
the
warranty
lies
when
we
get
done
with
the
job.
If
a
client
returns
the
customer
comment
card,
hopefully
they're
ecstatic
and
they're
all
happy
and
it
says
all
kinds
of
good
stuff,
but
it
certainly
doesn't
have
to.
If
we
get
the
return
card
we
roll
them
into
a
lifetime
warranty.
A
We
will
always
come
back
to
a
project
that
we
completed
and
check
and
see
if
things
falling
apart,
we're
because
of
poor,
install
poor
product,
poor
subcontractor
performance
or
trade
partner
performance
and
do
our
best
to
fix
it,
and
it's
we're
pretty
serious
about
it.
The
other
neat
thing
about
it
is
clients
are
pretty
cool
about
it.
I
don't
get
a
lot
of
calls
we're.
Obviously
there
was
a
party
in
the
basement
and
the
bottles
went
through
the
wall
or
anything
like
that.
A
A
A
A
Green
is
an
interesting
topic.
How
we
do
it
on
time?
Does
somebody
have
1135?
Okay,
good
Green
has
evolved
quite
a
bit
we're
15
years
ago.
It
was
kind
of
a
new
idea.
All
of
your
installations
still
had
plenty
of
formaldehyde
in
it.
Most
of
your
laminated
boards
had
plenty
of
formaldehyde
in
it.
Carpeting
paints
had
volat
VOCs,
volatile
organic
compounds,
a
lot
of
those
things
just
because
of
the
sheer
demand
of
consumers
have
been
reduced
or
even
eliminated.
A
So
a
lot
of
what
was
green
back
then
is
now
standard
practice
with
that
said,
I
always
interview
each
client
as
to
what
green
means
to
them.
Does
it
mean
indoor
air
quality?
Does
it
mean
using
a
product?
That's
easily
renewable
things
like
that
and
in
each
of
those
areas
we
can
help
you
focus
in
on
products
that
will
help
you.
A
Saving
products
often
is
green,
sometimes
when
products
are
saved
and
they
have
to
be
aggressively
rebuilt
to
be
saved,
it
becomes
a
financial
challenge
to
save
them.
So
then
it's
do
the
right
thing
and
reuse
my
door
or
do
the
financially
sensible
thing
and
buy
a
new
door
for
less
than
I'm
going
to
monkey
with
this
old
door.
A
These
water,
efficient,
showerheads
and
low-flow,
and
things
like
that
they're
all
over
that's
kind
of
standard
operating
now
they
do
have
ones
that
feel
better
than
others,
and
so
having
an
awareness
of
that
is
probably
a
nice
thing,
but
they
are
not
hard
to
find.
Most
of
our
remodel
work
is
using
the
pex,
piping,
the
plastic,
plumbing
piping
and
LU
of
copper.
It's
a
little
less
expensive
for
the
pecs.
It
goes
in
faster.
It
resists,
some
of
the
freezing
and
thawing
that
copper
will
not
tolerate.
A
I,
still
don't
like
to
see
a
house
pearls
and
solid,
but
if
that
one
gets
a
little
frosty,
it's
much
less
likely
to
break
up.
So
it's
a
nice
new
product
limits,
the
use
of
copper
talking
about
leaky
windows.
You
see
those
ads
all
the
time
and
that
can
be
a
nice
way
to
again.
If
green
is
being
energy
efficient,
your
carbon
footprint,
if
that's
your
sort
of
hot
button
in
that
area,
then
you
talk
more
about
things
like
this.
We
talked
about
the
complex
for
compact,
fluorescents
and
LEDs.
A
Five
years
from
now
you
will
buy
light
bulbs
and
you
won't
change
them
again
for
the
rest
of
your
life,
unless
you
hit
them
with
something
and
that's
a
crazy
concept,
but
we're
getting
close,
especially
with
these
LEDs
they're
becoming
more
affordable.
The
light
ranges
on
them
are
becoming
nice.
The
different
decorative
details
on
them
are
changing,
so
you
can
use
them
in
different
kind
of
lights.
So
that's
kind
of
neat
recycled
glass
tile.
A
Again,
if
you
like
that
idea
that
the
glass
that
comes
from
Oh,
some
of
my
recycled
glass
guys,
will
get
glass
from
mirrors,
mirror
companies,
one
of
them
gets
them
from
Ikea
right
over.
Here
they
break
a
bunch
of
stuff
they
put
in
a
box,
they
send
it
to
him.
He
uses
it
in
countertops
and
tile
and
that's
kind
of
a
neat
way
to
reuse.
It
also
can
reap
result
in
some
really
cool
artistic
finishes
and
the
guy
that
I
have
doing
that.
Will
he'll.
A
Let
you
bring
your
wedding
dishes
in
you
know
they
start
to
break
up.
You
got
five
left
and
you
want
to
preserve
them
forever.
He'll
break
them
up
and
put
them
into
a
vanity
top
for
you.
So
a
lot
of
really
neat
ideas
on
product
that
maybe
isn't
recycled
from
the
community,
but
is
recycled
from
your
home
and
means
something
to
you
in
that
the
sustainable
flooring,
products,
marmoleum,
etc.
A
Another
way
to
go
to
reduce
that
footprint,
but
I
point
out
the
sort
of
the
conundrum
of
I'm
going
to
think
of
it
here
for
a
sec,
the
East
Asian
grass
that
we
use
in
floor
coverings.
So
what
bamboo
thank
you
bamboo
grows
incredibly
fast
if
it's
the
right
bamboo
and
it's
harvested
the
right
way.
It's
a
very
tough,
very
cool.
A
Looking
product
number
one
look
out:
there
are
places
where
it
isn't
harvested
right
and
isn't
built
into
the
right
kind
of
product,
but
it
could
be
a
great
product,
but
majority
of
it
grows
in
Southeast
Asia.
So
then
we
ship
it
over
here.
Is
it
still
green
I
mean
you
tell
me,
so
it's
an
interesting
discussion
in
that
area
and
most
of
our
paints
now
are
low
and
no
VLC.
The
biggest
time
that
we
get
into
an
issue
with
a
paint
type
product
is,
if
we're
doing,
wood
floors
and
refinishing
the
wood
floors.
A
Often
that's
done
with
a
water-based,
covering
people
usually
like
to
be
out
of
the
home
for
a
couple
of
days
for
that,
because
that
is
still
a
little
bit.
Stinky
marmoleum
is
a
it's
sold
in
both
sheets
and
tile.
This
is
VCT,
but
it's
kind
of
got
to
look
like
this.
In
minutes
swirled,
you
will
see
it.
It
really
represents
the
old
linoleum
that
they
used
to
use
a
lot
in
homes.
It
is
a
linoleum,
it
is
completely
natural,
it's
gone
and
it's
got
a
characteristic
to
it.
A
That
has
an
anti-static,
and
so,
if
your
dust
sensitive
this
stuff
is
super
easy
to
sweep
up
and
get
the
dust
off
the
floor,
it
comes
in
tons
of
beautiful
colors,
it
can
be
cut
in
curves
and-
and
you
can
do
some
really
interesting
layouts
with
it.
I
just
did
a
Bloomington
basement
over
here
in
a
single
color
of
marmoleum
called
painter's
palette.
A
It
is
pretty
comfortable
with
a
little
bit
of
water,
so
if
we
do
have
a
basement
or
maybe
once
in
a
while
I
get
a
trickle
of
water
across
the
floor
to
the
drain,
that's
a
product
that
can
tolerate
some
of
that.
It's
a
little
softer
than
this
VCT.
So
it's
one
of
the
many
floor
products
we
have
it
on
display
in
our
showroom
that
again
can
solve
the
problem
of
what
do
you
want
your
home?
What
is
the
existing
conditions
of
the
home
and
what
products
would
make
sense
for
that?
A
So
here's
a
final
plan
and
you
can
kind
of
see
the
difference
from
our
early
points
to
where
now
we've
got
a
lot
of
notes:
instructing
people
for
construction
we've
really
deep.
It
dialed
in
the
kind
of
doors,
the
things
that
are
going
to
happen,
the
right
size
of
the
door,
the
swings
of
the
door,
how
we're
squeezing
our
water
heater
in
here.
A
So
again,
if
you're
thinking
about
this
yourself,
don't
burden
yourself
a
little
sketch
of
the
space
bubble
out
the
plans
of
where
you
think
things
will
fit,
and
one
step
at
a
time
add
more
detail
till
you
get
to
something
like
this.
That
would
be
required
to
pull
a
permit,
but
it's
also
your
instructions
for
the
job.
The
other
thing
is,
if
you
do
something
like
this
and
you're
meeting
independently
with
plumbers
or
hvc
guys,
in
other
words,
your
self
contracting
you'll
save
a
good
bit
of
money
over
what
we
charge.
A
You'll
also
do
a
lot
of
work
and
earn
it
and
that's
fair,
but
the
more
instructions.
The
more
specifics
that
you
can
have
here,
the
easier
you're
going
to
have
in
comparing
bids
because
they're
looking
at
the
same
thing,
instead
of
just
walking
somebody
into
a
basement
and
saying
I
need
heat,
one
guy's
going
to
heat
it
one
way
another
guy
might
heat
in
another
way.
They
might
both
be
fine.
There
are
two
different
numbers
and
you
don't
know
why.
A
So
the
more
specifics
that
you
have
in
here,
if
you're
doing,
that
kind
of
thing
can
be
really
helpful.
They're
all
there
are
also
independent
designers
out
there
that
will
start
with
helping
it
through
the
design
and
letting
you
take
over
maybe
on
the
construction
and
contracting
site.
So
there's
all
kinds
of
ways
to
slice.
This
beast
up.
The
other
thing
is
elevations
and
details
you're,
not
as
much
going
to
get
into
the
details
here.
This
is
really
for
us.
A
This
is
explaining
to
the
city
what
we're
doing-
and
you
can
see
this
is
the
old
drawing
with
our
13
batt
insulation,
which
I've
been
with
Castle
about
two
years.
They
were
still
doing
a
little
bit
of
that.
The
owner
Lauren,
who
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
an
MBA
from
mark
in
marketing
from
carlson
business
school.
He
does
a
great
job
of
helping
us
run
and
be
financially
responsible
and
have
good
marketing,
and
he
can't
run
a
cordless
drill
to
save
his
life
so
right
away.
A
I
said
this
isn't
happening
anymore,
we're
going
to
do
the
Thermax,
we're
not
going
to
have
it,
but
one
way
or
another
details
like
this
are
typically
used
to
describe
to
the
city.
What
our
plan
is
on
a
technical
level
so
that
we
can
get
permitting
the
other
elevations,
which
are
really
critical-
and
you
can
see
it
here
in
a
fireplace
also
very
true
in
bathrooms-
are
well
on
this
one
place.
I
need
a
fireplace
I
need
a
mantle
and
maybe
need
a
TV
or
a
picture
over
the
top.
A
I
want
to
do
some
lighting,
there's,
probably
a
switch
related
to
it,
and
you
can
draw
some
kind
of
a
picture
of
that
elevation.
You're
less
likely
to
come
along,
want
to
put
your
fireplace
here
and
realize
the
electrician
came
through
and
stuck
an
outlet
right
in
there,
and
now
we
got
to
back
up
and
figure
it
out.
The
other
one
will
be
a
tile
wainscot
on
a
wall
in
a
bathroom
where
we've
got
a
toilet
paper
holder
we've
got
that
tile
integration.
A
So
those
elevations
are
really
critical,
even
if
they're
more
simple,
because
this
thing
happens
in
steps
and
the
first
guy
lays
groundwork
that
can
affect
the
last
guy
and
the
joke
in
the
industry
is
always
that
the
painter
will
fix
it
and
that's
not
really
fair
to
the
painter,
because
when
we
work
Pete,
so
here's
a
good
idea
of
like
when
we're
working
design
process
four
to
six
weeks,
remodeling
process
528
in
a
basement.
That
is
an
unrealistic.
We
are
about
ten
to
fifteen
percent
faster
because
of
the
time
we
put
into
this
design.
A
I'll
have
people
call
me
and
say:
can
I
start
your
map?
I'm
ready,
I,
want
to
start
my
bathroom
next
week
and
it's
like
the
way
we
do
things.
It
won't
happen.
So
if
you
want
to
find
a
guy,
who'll
come
in
start
working
on
your
bathroom
a
little
time
figure
it
out
as
it
goes
awesome
not
the
way
we
do
it.
A
You
can
see
how
much
time
we're
putting
it
as
much
time
thinking
about
as
we
are
building
on
it
and
that's
really
valuable
you
can
get.
You
can
save
yourself
a
lot
of
headaches
by
visiting
with
professionals
doing
some
drawing
shopping
around
before
you
get
too
deep
into
something
that
you
spent
money
on
and
you
can't
use
this
is
the
homeowners
emotional
roller
coaster
any
way
you
slice
it.
Remodeling
is
exhausting
for
a
homeowner
we
get
in
with
our
process.
A
I
actually
find
the
contract
isn't
as
low,
but
we
do
go
through
this
period,
where
we're
looking
at
price
versus
what
a
client
wants
and
I've
met
with
clients
with
low
budgets.
I've
met
with
clients
that
have
more
money
than
all
of
us
in
the
room
together
and
they're.
All
of
them
run
up
against
the
budget
period
because
the
vision
of
what
they'd
like
to
have
typically
needs
and
I
as
the
Builder
designer/contractor,
typically
more
in
a
position
of
saying
hey.
A
You
said
you
want
to
spend
this
but
you're
looking
at
that
product
and
that's
really
expensive,
and
I
can
get
you
this.
So
if
the
budget
shot,
we
can
do
that,
but
helping
to
protect
that
budget,
so
that
process
is
going
on
through
design
we
get
to
a
contract,
get
started
working,
it's
all
exciting.
The
first
few
days
of
people
are
in
your
house.
Then,
as
we
get
through
the
trades,
you
don't
see
as
much
physical
change
as
they're
in
there
doing
the
plumbing
doing
the
electrical
rough
ends.
So
it's
not
as
exciting.
A
We
get
down
here.
Cabinets
go
in
kind
of
tired
of
having
people
hanging
around
the
house
finishes
start
to
happen
party
at
the
end
and
then
really
when
we've
been
gone
for
a
month.
That's
when
people
call
us
back
and
go
that
was
okay
budget
considerations
working
within
the
existing
space.
In
other
words,
if
we
don't
have
to
move
the
furnace
that
helps
I
have
been
too
I've,
been
to
jobs
where
I
get
to
the
bottom
of
the
stairs
and
three
feet
off.
A
A
Today's
stair
codes
are
very
different.
I
work
in
a
lot
of
homes
that
are
1920s,
1930s,
1940s
and
they've
got
that
stat
staircase
that
you
know
is
borderline
dangerous
to
use
in
the
1920s.
They
didn't
think
would
be
dumb
enough
to
want
to
live
in
a
basement.
They
thought
that's
where
the
roots
went
and
the
furnace,
and
that's
it
and
the
stuff
you
don't
want
to
look
at
so
they
didn't
necessarily
build
them
to
make
them
easy
to
inhabit
anytime.
You
move
the
stairs
or
alter
the
stairs.
A
You
can
alter
the
treads
and
the
risers
so
can
make
them
prettier.
You
can
put
in
more
stable,
treads
and
risers
when
you
affect
the
shape
of
the
stairs,
which
is
called
the
stair
jack,
which
is
where
the
angles
are
cut
out.
You
have
to
meet
today's
code,
so
if
you're
in
a
home
with
a
short
staircase
and
the
new
legal
staircase
that
the
right
angle
runs
five
feet
longer,
you're
cutting
a
hole
in
the
ceiling
up
above
it
to
make
it
work.
That
becomes
a
dramatic
change
to
your
home.
A
If
you
don't
touch
it,
it's
okay,
eighty-five.
Ninety
percent
of
the
basements
I.
Do
we
don't
touch
it?
A
couple
of
year
were
rebuilding
the
staircase,
because
it's
that
bad
or
because
it's
a
priority
for
the
homeowner-
and
that
is
that's
a
challenge.
It
means
budget.
It
means
time
we
talked
about
egress
windows,
they're
about
2,500
bucks
installed
with
the
metal
surround
and
so
on
and
again
city
will
tell
you
how
many
you
need
at
a
base
level.
A
Sometimes
it's
nice
to
add
one
or
two,
because
it
that
fresh
air
and
light
that
you
can
get
into
a
basement
really
enhances
the
environment,
stacking
the
bathrooms,
as
I
said,
finding
that
that
four
inch
waist
mainway
stack
pipe
and
being
near.
There
is
helpful
I
found
that
when
being
near,
that
stack
pipe
really
ruins
the
overall
layout
and
we
gotta
move
the
bathroom
it's
about
a
thousand
dollars,
so
it's
not
the
end
of
the
world,
but
it's
again
as
you're
looking
at
budget.
A
This
is
where
we
want
to
help
you
figure
out
what,
where
is
it
important
to
spend
a
thousand
dollars
and
really
that
you'll
love
the
basement?
And
where
is
it
something
that
we
want
to
keep
it
on
the
not
spent
side?
We
talked
about
some
of
the
floors.
I,
don't
advise
real
hardwoods
in
the
lower
level.
There
are
people
that
are
doing
it
or
at
least
they're
doing
some
lamb
and
it's
there's
ways
to
get
it
done.
A
I
don't
love
it,
but
if
it's
important,
we
could
talk
to
you
about
it
and
and
the
real
nice
pre
engineered
hardwood
that
you'll
see
on
the
higher
end
in
the
home
stores
is
some
beautiful
stuff.
It
usually
has
20
coats
of
finish
on
it.
It's
done
in
a
factory
somewhere
with
no
dust,
it's
actually
a
pretty
high-end
product.
We
can
come
in
and
lay
down
on
a
site
on
a
main
floor.
A
You
know
fresh
hardwood
finish
it
in
place
for
a
lot
of
times
less
than
the
pre
engineered
stuff
challenge
being
obviously
we're
Finn
you're
home,
so
they
sell
it
as
a
fabulous
finish
on
those.
So
hardwoods
can
trick
you
a
little
bit
on
what
they'll
cost
spray
foam
insulation,
as
I
said
next
step
up
and
pricing
over
the
thermax
that
comes
in
the
sheet
goods
that
I
like
to
use.
But
again
we
can
work
through
you
with
you.
You
can
shop
it
online.
A
A
Well,
I
just
did
a
quickie
the
other
day
and
we're
up
at
about
10
grand
so
and
that
one
affected
the
attic
and
the
main
floor.
It
wasn't
main
Florida
basement.
The
biggest
thing
is
how
closer
your
existing
stairs
to
legal,
because
as
I
said
once
we
touch
them,
then
every
tread
is
10
to
11
inches
and
every
riser
is
78
inches.
That
said,
it's
got
to
be
in
there.
Where
does
a
landing
occur
and
so
on?
So
it
kind
of
depends
on
shape.
A
A
I'm
always
careful
with
using
this
too
much
the
real
estate
market
is
still
pretty
volatile.
I
think
that
right
now
we're
actually
seeing
higher
indicated
net
values
of
installs,
because,
right
now
it's
hot
you
could
start
a
year-long
project
where
you
think
you're
going
to
maximize
the
value
and
I
just
feel
like
the
real
estate
market
is
volatile
enough,
that
there
are
a
nice
indication,
but
I
wouldn't
live
by
them
and
I
wouldn't
start
counting
my
dollars
on
how
I'm
going
to
sell
my
house
with
the
new
kitchen
and
make
X
amount
of
money.
A
These
can
be
great
places
to
either
drop
off
products
that
you're
no
longer
interested,
get
a
tax
write-off
and
have
somebody
else,
reuse
them,
and
there
are
also
wonderful
resources
for
maybe
finding
some
things
that
would
be
magical
in
your
basement
and
and
don't
cost
as
much,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
that
in
our
design
process.
These
are
listed
on
our
website
that
castle
bri
dot,
org.
A
Some
more
tax
credit
information,
the
reuse
center
I
think
they
still
have
one
more
shop
but
again
net
that
always
changes.
This
is
our
shameless
marketing,
page
pinterest
tiles,
our
website,
all
those
ways
that
you
can
find
out
about
us
and
about
remodeling
online.
I'm
sorry!
If
I'm
in
the
land,
let
me
get
out
of
the
way
of
that
and
a
lot
of
people
use
the
pinterest
and
house
and
work
with
my
designers,
because
they're
able
to
post
pictures
of
it's
not
the
same
shape.
A
A
Yep-
and
you
can
that's
the
key,
is
you
can
really
look
at
a
lot
you
can
put
in
a
keyword
and
look
at
images
that
other
people
have
done
basement.
Examples
and
ideas
sit
down
here
and
do
this.
This
way
we'll
go
through
this
pretty
quickly,
but
it
does
show
some
of
the
you
know.
If
you
recognize
it
looking
kind
of
like
your
basement
now,
you
can
see
that
classic
too
wide
concrete
laundry
drain.
A
A
They're
like
we
want
two
bedrooms,
a
kitchen
at
an
office,
a
rec
room,
and
it's
so
even
for
yourself,
I
mean
figure
attend
by
ten
twelve
by
twelve
kind
of
bedroom,
start
carving.
That
out
of
the
space
see
what's
left,
you
know,
so
it
is
funny
that
they
do
that.
A
lot
of
times
and
they've,
even
thought
of
sort
of
you
could
figure
out
that
there's
no
way
five
rooms
is
fitting
right
here.
A
Alright
53
block
foundation,
mostly
storage,
and
we
got
a
little
bedroom.
We
got
we
open
up
this
staircase,
which
is
a
really
nice
finish.
Even
if
we
don't
alter
the
staircase
making
it
warmer
and
more,
a
part
of
the
basement
can
be
a
way
to
make
it
really
comfortable,
unusable
again
we're
seeing
the
light
millwork.
This
one
does
have
the
recessed
cans
as
well
in
this
bedroom.
A
There's
probably
two
more
cans
right
here
and
I
might
suggest
a
single,
attractive,
decorative
center
fixture,
which
would
probably
take
eight
eight
hundred
dollars
in
recessed
cans
and
drop
it
down
to
a
lighting
bill
of
to
250.
So
that's
kind
of
ways
that
we
can
help
make
sense
of
a
budget
if
you
love
recessed
cans
and
the
grid
work
works
out
in
that
basement.
We
can
do
those
too,
so
we
got
a
master
bedroom,
bathroom,
walk-in,
closet,
egress
to
the
right
of
the
bed,
their.
A
Family
room
rec
room
afterwards
again
this
one
down
below
now
you
see
the
use
of
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
a
VCT,
just
like
this
or
possibly
marmoleum,
but
it
looks
like
it's
probably
something
like
what
we
have
here:
a
lot
of
wood
paneling
that
still
would
be
the
same
treatment
behind
it
where
we
want
our
Thermax,
our
insulation
break,
etc.
We
want
the
house
to
perform
right
before
we
make
it
pretty
and
then
just
alternate
materials
there
that
do
look
kind
of
nice.
A
I
think
this
egress
here
is
key
to
make
in
that
area,
not
too
dark
and
then
again
the
other
realities
of
basements
are
working
around
beams
and
things
like
that
and
a
lot
of
times
our
drawings.
There's
a
beam
right
there
with
that.
Drawing
software
that
we
have.
We
can
show
that
to
you
before
you
decide
to
take
a
big
financial
leap
in
a
basement.
Make
sure
that
something
like
that's:
okay,.
A
New
recessed
lighting
gas,
fireplace
those
gas
fireplaces,
kick
out
a
ton
of
heat
they're,
really
nice
they're,
very
flexible
on
location
as
to
where
they
go
into
space.
They
don't
even
have
to
be
on
an
outside
wall,
and
so
they
can
be
a
really
nice
thing
to
have
new
flooring.
You
rest
window
do
one
more.
A
Unfinished
story
so
I
know,
if
any
of
you
guys
have
this,
the
walkout
basement
value
added
to
a
walkout
basement.
In
other
words,
the
work
you
put
into
it
is
better
than
basement.
That's
a
hole
in
the
ground,
we're
getting
light.
It
is
treated
more
of
it
as
a
living
space
by
the
Realtors.
So
it's
a
nice
thing
to
have
they're
very
valuable
to
finish,
and
we
get
do
one
here.
Even
the
lookout
basement
where
you,
where
the
dirts
up
about
half
heights
we're
document
are
starting
in
women.
Oh,
we
better
be
done.
