The stairs and upstairs are carpeted we will be re-covering with our final choice, either hardwood, an alternative hardwood, or carpet again, as we choose for the upstairs to be the same except possibly the bathroom. There is an open stair-well straight up, it has a door at the bottom, which we want to replace with a tempered glass and solid wood door, connecting the 2nd floor to the downstairs. The walls measured, square feet given, photos included. It is the upstairs area that we want to use as a guest room and bath, and we haven't really been here enough to know which direction to take it until now. It is not very huge compared to other jobs we have managed. I can describe this new overhaul again, and post it. We have worked on every room in some way, some more than others, except to paint the bathrooms downstairs that already look really cool and re-furbished it over the past ten years, including the enclosed fenced and gated gardens and walkways, so now we want to also turn our attention to this home. We have almost completed the work needed to create an awesome and beautiful old home in our beloved beach town. It is basically paid for and/or paying for itself. We are, however, committed to keeping this home and land, not allowing it to slip into others' hands. Our children feel the same as we do, but no, no one is planning on living here now). We may well decide to make this our permanent home, but not for now. ( Example- Yes, this feels like home to us. We only set a top amount of money to be spent yesterday! This space once WAS the guest room, and it has since served as the office for the house with printers, fax machines, large desk top, etc. We are just in the initial stages of this decision. I do know many of the answers to the questions typically needed for this, and some are the same as you suggested. We will work on plugging things into the budget. Is it? I have been writing, and have kept what you said in mind. I do not think it is beyond what others ask online. Hi, JAN MOYER thanks, and apple_pie_order - I realized and intended to mention that I was aware I needed to and would put up the photos and details- I often see people include far less information than needed, leading to 25 or more questions from folks wanting to comment/advise, and understand totally what they mean! Sorry for that, but yes, I always find new energy around change and tend to start planning with ideas I have been collecting online or in my minds' eye, for a few years, when we begin discussing projects like this one. Windows and doors = holes in walls where heat escapes. The best thing to do is to get the floor/ceilings insulated to find out where all the heat is going. The clients also have expressed their surprise that they can not hear the Teenagers when they are playing games during the afternoon = cork is an acoustic insulator as well as a thermal insulator. Canada with the cork+cork option and they have to turn down their heating system to watch TV in their basement.1100sf basement with 1 forced air vent = too warm in the winter with "normal" temperature. A cork floating floor+6mm cork underlay works out to be $3-$5/sf for the floor + $0.63/sf for the underlay = $4-$6/sf = better insulation than an insulated subfloor system+flooring. You then need to install flooring over top = $2-$5/sf ON TOP of the price of the system for a total of $4-$8/sf. An insulated "sleeper" subfloor (building centers carry DIY subfloor systems for $2-$3/sf) will help.but will be costly. I would vote for a cork floating floor.but that's me. You will want to install an insulated floor.of some sort. The cement slab is what we call a "heat-sink".that is to say the slab grabs all the heat and pulls it out of the room (the heat "sinks" into the slab.never to be heard from again). Insulating is going to be the first priority. Is it possible the plants could make a comeback? Is there anything else I can do so they don't die? The one that had curling leaves was very dry as well, so I watered it (which might have been a bad idea?). I've put both violets in a little greenhouse. The browning is visible on almost all the leaves, not just the outer ones. From far away, the other violet actually looks healthy, not wilting or curling, just the brown discolorations. Both show browning on the leaves, and one violet has a couple leaves that are curling. Now it's been a couple days, and both violets show obvious signs of shock.
I closed the window and didn't put them back until the following day so they could warm up a bit. When I saw them, I went AHH and moved them away from the window quickly. The violets were exposed for maybe 10-20 minutes. It was pretty cold outside, I think around 40 F. So SOMEONE (sitting next to me who feels very bad).opened the window next to a ledge where two of my african violets were sitting.
