I mostly want to learn more about the permit process and everything else I need to consider before I start. I'm still in the planning stages, so I'm looking for neat ideas too. Right now I have the potential walls laid out on the concrete floor with masking tape while I decide if that's exactly what we want or not.
Sorry I wasn't clear about that. I have the construction knowledge and most of the tools, but I've never undertaken a project this big before on my own, so I'm soaking everything up like a sponge.
