Basement Remodeling Picture
Your basement should try to follow the basement remodeling picture that you created before starting the remodeling process. As much as possible, you will need to stick to your original plan because you will never know how last minute changes could affect the outcome of your new basement.
So before starting the remodeling process, you need to make sure that the basement remodeling picture is perfect in every way. Everything that needed to be checked should have been double checked already.
Here is a checklist of things for the remodeling:
1. Check the basement for any holes in the walls, ceiling or floors. Any hole should be filled before the remodeling process. If you are planning on laying down tiles or wood planks on the floor, you need to make sure that the concrete underneath is all smooth and hole free. A hole in the walls, floor or ceiling could pose as a danger to the basement.
2.
Make sure that the picture of your new basement should also take care of all the plumbing and electrical wires. Most probably, you are going to be installing new fixtures like a new toilet or sink, so you will need to know the existing locations of old plumbing pipes. You need the location of all the existing electrical wires as well so you don’t electrocute yourself when you are drilling in the walls.
3. The basement remodeling picture should contain the location of all the pieces of furniture, both old and new. The picture should be made according to scale so you will not have trouble assessing the space of your basement.
