Day 1 : Friday Nov 6 2009






















Well it has finally begun...

After starting off with the idea and first sketches back at the end of August, day 1 is finally here
Lots of meetings with the architect followed by negotiations with the contractor..not to mention house hunting as well!

What has remained an unfinished and unused basement for 10 years(except for the once in a while match of table tennis), the basement will be transformed (over the next 6-7 weeks) into a seperate independent apartment. Estimates are at 1500 sq feet.

The journey will be posted here so I can share it with friends and family as well as a daily diary for myself indicated what happened each day..I have a habit of not keeping track so this way I am forced to do so

Day 1 started with the contractor and the architect coming over around 8am to go over the plans and working out a strategy. The architect is one of our neighbours and will be a consult between me and the contractor. This being the case as she created the plans as well as me not having a clue what the contractor asks for

Day 1 ended with the framing of the media room, hall way and master closet. The wooden frame for the guest bathroom already exists. Attached are the pics which as the weeks go by will show the hopefully remarkable change from beast into beauty
