Help.. What To Look For In A Basement For Future Daycare Location

[Meeko]

Thanks for all the ideas! We found "the" one tonight! It's only a mile north of where we live in Lincoln, NE so all my parents will stay with me through the move that's if we get it ofcourse. We will put an offer in tomorrow. The basement isn't a walk out but has 1300 sq ft of space a big bathroom, and a good potential spot to install a small kitchenette. Now to start planning out how to start thinking about how the layout for this house would work for me Can't wait to be in a better set up!

How exciting! Keep us updated on the progress!

ceiling height is Number 1 check your regulations first. It is rare except for a new house to have a finished height of 8 feet. 7 feet or is it 7 ft 6 is allowed here. I am grandfathered in the old rules.

Walk out without steps

bathroom

then I would want to be able to add a kitchenette plenty of storage and to be able to see every one.

You also need an area without carpet to eat and paint.

In light of recent weather in my area, I would also add to make sure it doesn't flood. Ask your home inspector if drainage, etc. looks good.

A small update! We did not get the house that I really liked. I live in Lincoln, NE and it is a sellers market and a lot of houses are selling in the first 48 hours a house is listed. But we have recently found and viewed a really nice home with a much bigger space in the basement with one big room to set up however I shall choose. It also has a big storage space with really nice laminate flooring where I could see us finishing it as a kitchen/dining area for the kids. Also this is a walkout so parents could come through the back door and not go through our upstairs at all. So we put an offer in and see what happens now..

Thanks! We signed most of our paper work last night so it is a go! and We will start moving in June 1st! Is there anywhere on this forum that I could find an example of a letter to inform parents that your moving? And also I don't really know who quick I can get the daycare moved over to the new house it's only a mile or so from us. Any moving tips advice is welcome!
