Basement Plans
Here’s another sketching, this time of some plans for the basement. We sat down again with David Wagner from SALA Architecture and, once again, he did a nice job of working out some details for us (click for enlarged image).
Basement Plans
Again, I’m not sure how useful this is to most people, even if you’ve seen our basement. But here it is, all the same.
We are adding a bedroom, not necessarily because we need one (although I think Matthew is assuming it will be his), but because it will add value to the home. Also, it would be nice to have a place for guests to sleep, so people will visit us once in a while. These plans include the following exciting features:
- a 3/4 bath with a shower,
- a laundry room,
- a storage/furnace room,
- a family room, and
- a “library” space.
We tried, but there just wasn’t room for a horse stall.
So, the next steps include replacing the windows, and having a plumber replace some pipes (some of which are held together with electrical tape!). More to come…

But where will you keep the horses?
It looks like the support posts will be moved to the right of the stairs (looking at your plan) from their current position. Does that mean a new load bearing beam will need to be added?

We’re bringing the horses over to your place.
Yes, two support posts will need to be removed, which means a new load bearing beam. We’ve decided to just do it.
