Assembling the plan…
The past 4 weeks has been spent putting together the group that I will work with to fix North. Windows have been chosen, ordered, and scheduled for install.  Today, I completed dimensional drawings of each room/”space”. These drawings outline the core of this project.  They tell me what is….So, as I study what is…I can begin to envision what could be.  As I study each drawing, I place myself into its “space”.  All space must have purpose.  I ask…. Is this space purposed correctly? Does this space need physical alterations to fully utilize its purpose?  As my mind responds to these questions, cost is waving its red flag above my head.  What are this projects’ priorities?  What is the budget?
North will be completed in two phases.  Phase I is to get it “rental ready”.  Phase II will be to refine it into a residence.  Windows, doors, floors, and paint are the priorities in this phase. Wish-list includes reconfiguring the kitchen to include a 4’x4′ island…

creating a wall fireplace in the library…

re-purposing the laundry/utility room to include a walk in closet…
