" What do you think of how these guys are building this out. Well thought about it at issue we're founding what they're using it to chase wall OK and then putting all of the mechanical Lyle leaves and seeds. To hear from one bullet in the -- so this basically goes from the basement always through the -- I read the roof. And it's the conduit -- whether the space where you locate all the water beats all the wastes all the well they're venting the venting except mom's basement right here look at that and that the actually this is the dry out and movement is going to have a Brian and right next to it is they. Me vent. Bathroom fans because you've got to get at a lot of moisture in an area in electrical stuff isn't there -- right electrical when everything in this. Metal conduit. Runs the distance from armored cable yeah now don't you have to fireproof this whole thing Reagan Qaeda or leveler -- utility -- is --"
" One construction 100% fireproof and this chase which is open all the way into the basement it's gonna get it to our rating. Which means there's two layers of five -- fire code. Gypsum board here and then actually because it'll work from one side on this side. They're gonna be putting big heavy gypsum panels snapping them between the joists and recovering at the gypsum board."
" Anything that's metal storage stepped up the kind of funny looking at -- problems disease that these that. OK and then in terms of places where in the bathroom here right we get. It was over here yet and that's a given your end in your slab. And then over here I guess they intended to put a -- but I think we may think about. Converting this into a large shower room yeah. If we wanted to move locations around we could raise the floor couldn't she can't yet. And then you can put the plumbing anyplace you want what you want to and what's this this is that's for the Washington aren't there yes it would have to be stacked washer dryer. And they've put. Drain in the floor which is always good idea and I think we would be smart to add up pan Arab network. One drawback of this kind of package deal is you don't really get any closet space accounts that -- death. So you've got a lot of volume but you don't have anything already therefore it. The other options I guess -- yeah you can put lots and you can bring the ceiling down and put things about that there's all kinds of things you can -- of that. Height in the space and in terms of the fireproof construction that you can't put in wooden partitions yep that's that's finding out of that kind of literature but let's let down but you can't build him. Cabinets are armed forces cancer wouldn't. Finished kind of elements that provides storage and here you got all this all of -- the only thing that's defined is where you locate your kitchen right."
" Well yes think is a stud and for the sink. There's the gas supply for the stove and behind you well as the air handler with air conditioning system is a two and a half and man here that's the return air. And this X -- around -- over the air as the supply now that's not for heat that's just -- air conditioning technician. How do we need this. Well they have boilers in the basement and they're going to provide other navy water where -- Like there. And and that's a thermostat now you can see the wire right and thermostat an -- the baseboard radiation. We'll be controlled and each unit around the perimeter on the premise okay."
" The big challenge which is. You know how do you how you cut up the space how do you divide the space well I think not because a lot -- you don't want to build wrongs I mean you want to convert this into an apartment. Now that you really need to define spaces that I walls yet and you can do that by changing levels drop in the ceiling. Doing other things too. Create a difference thanks I'll run it be easy to put a wooden deck in here which would be a lot more comfortable underfoot. That would be great way to put it nice wood floor on minutes after -- up because concrete who have guided him now could you frame it in wood. You can as long as the wood is fired treated. Which is legal or you can build about steel. And when that. I concrete pour. Right so there are systems death plots everything on north and around him -- a lack of sawdust there's a lot of with a big black stuff that's death. I'm figuring that from the point of -- having fun with carpentry is going to be in the Bill -- in the details but from the point of view the actual construction. You know its brick and concrete it's -- steel roof yes well got a lot of challenges ahead of us thanks like ballots."
