If you’re planning a w**e wall as part of a renovation, the most useful thing you can do is get a few questions answered while the wall is open. Once it’s closed up and painted, small surprises get expensive.
These are the six things we’d want any contractor to check: what the framing looks like, what’s already running through the wall, whether the floor and wall are level (in older homes they usually aren’t), where power for lighting will come from, what cooling will need if the space is a proper cellar, and how everything gets into the house with you still living in it.
It’s worth passing to your contractor before demo day. If you’d like our team to look at your photos, send them through here: https://w**eracksamerica.com/pages/cellar-design
