Laundry - Please confirm layout

Please confirm that this is the layout we spoke of at our previous meeting

Meeting Notes - 8/24/12

PJM, JB Clancy, PBS

Structural

• The opening to dining room from kitchen - we will leave the right hand side of the door (as facing the kitchen from the dining room) where it is and widen it 6' to the left.  Ideally there will still be 6' left before the corner for furniture.
• The opening from the kitchen to the breakfast room will be the same height as the window over the sink and the new door to the back yard (approx. 94" high).  All other openings to match existing heights.
• The opening from the hall to the kitchen will be 7'-0" and be centered on the opening to the breakfast room.
• The opening to the breakfast room will be 7'-0" and be centered on the windows of the breakfast room.
• Kitchen Ceiling - 
• The ceiling in the wet bar area of the kitchen will be dropped to cover the 2" plumbing that is exposed in the corner of the room by the dining room.
• The ceiling in the main kitchen will be raised to the existing joists.
• The ceiling in the sitting area of the kitchen will be continued at the height that it is currently dropped to in order to keep plumbing hidden and aid the laundry plumbing.

Guest House

• We discussed the location for the laundry.  PBS suggest the possibility of moving it into the closet in the living area.  This opens up options of the space adjacent to the kitchen becoming a pantry.  We would need to frame the closet into the utility room some to accommodate.

Kitchen 

• PJM mentioned that he would possibly like an inlaid design at the kitchen floor outside the breakfast room.

Laundry Room Option

We have determined that we can install the laundry room at the desired location.  We propose removing the demising wall between the "Sewing Room" and the "Walk-In-Closet" on the 2nd floor.  This will not be included in the upcoming kitchen bath renovation quote.

If you would like to move forward we can task JB to layout a laundry scenario and we will price it up.

Meeting Notes 7/16/12

Peter Millington, Peter Stames

1. Discussed masonry at mudroom door and window and determined that we would not need to do the arched soldier course above the header.
   
2. The kitchen island will be priced as white oak stained brown.
   
3. The beams in the kitchen ceiling and the timber arches will be stained white oak.
   
4. The breakfast room restoration estimate will include:
• Removing the timber and herring bone veneer to the substrate.
• Replacing the timbers with Cedar (?) and we will price infilling with herringbone brick and stucco and another panel scenario for best budget/aesthetic.
• Remove tile floor
• Remove floor framing
• Install "rat" slab and vapor barrier
• Install cross ventilation?
• Reframe and insulate for installation of new hardwood floor.
• Deck above to be ipe' on sleepers.
• Install extra scupper for water removal
• Rubber roof below sleepers,
• Install brick or wrought iron rail to bring perimeter walls to 36" minimum off decking.
  
5. We discussed location of a Laundry Room.
• Scenario 1 - Would ideally be located in the room next to the blue bathroom on the second floor.  This would entail installing a soffit above the entry door that would possibly compromise the top cabinet door but would allow us to connect into the appropriate vent.  This scenario still needs more confirmation.
• Scenario 2 - would be directly across the hall.  This is the easier of the 2 scenarios since there is venting available on that side of the house.
  
6. The chimneys are being priced as:
• Removed to below limestone.
• Limestone replaced with granite.
• Scenario 1 rebuilt in same detail.
• Scenario 2 rebuilt with simpler detail as value engineering
