Basement Renovation; Money-Saving Tips That Help Insure SuccessJISC infoNet was pleased to host the UK Higher Education Europe Unit 2007 survey on the sector's involvement in the Bologna Process and European higher education issues. The survey covered the implementation of the Diploma Supplement, credit, joint degrees, Masters' degrees and their recognition, and institutional strategies. Analyses of the results are now available from the links to the right. When it comes to creating more space for storage or increased living area, basement renovation immediately comes to mind. Basement Renovation The basement renovation plan might be as simple as drywall finishing the wall framing, a few extra light fixtures and shelving to increase basement storage potential. Or it can be as involved as transforming the area using a family room design or basement game room that includes finished walls, ceiling, carpeting, and the addition of bathroom plumbing. Your only restraints are available floor space, basement renovation cost, and other practical considerations. Such as whether the project will be a DIY, if you require the services of a reliable renovation contractor, and what you hope to accomplish by the renovation. Basement Storage Idea One basement renovation Toronto style idea is to make use of wasted space under the lower end of the stairway leading into the basement. Consider custom made roll-out bins for this project. Simple-style bins made from 3 plywood and mounted on casters can be designed. Reinforce the inside corners of the bins using 3 square molding. Create a template for the front, back, and filler pieces of each bin by tracing the slope of the stairs on cardboard. 1.
