One of the first things a home designer must think about when remodeling is the placement of mechanical systems: heating, cooling, ducting, water heaters, electrical panels, etc., and access to those systems.
So, the first area we are creating is a pantry/utilty closet/attic access/crawlspace access room. Handy Man tore out the walls around an old closet/china cupboard/stereo system cupboard, and created a 4'x10' room. We got a set of attic access stairs which will be installed in there for easy access to the heating system, which will now be in the attic.
The room will also have a trapdoor to the crawl space, the electrical sub panel for this section of the house, and plenty of room for pantry items, vacuum cleaners, brooms, and the like.
The fireplace will also get a facelift and a traditional mantel. Maybe something like this?
Please follow along as we navigate the permit process next.
