The Layout Room is approximately 48 feet long and 12 feet wide in the main area but 25 feet wide in the far end.  The stairway comes down into the room in the middle of the room which means that I did not need to have a duck under to get to the layout.  Well there is a duck under in the laundry room if I need to get to the house electrical panel, the sump pump or the water softener.  Immediately after moving into the house we had the basement casement windows replaced with glass block windows to improve the security to the basement and to help reduce entry into the basement of pests and spiders.  Within a year of the being in the house and before the construction of the layout we had some ground water seep into the floor so we had a B-Dry french drain added to 90% of the perimeter of the basement.  We have had no water infiltration since then.  The outline of the basement is a little confusing especially on the front of the house which is shown with the brown sections at the bottom of the drawing shown above.

The schematic shown above was drawn with the third planet software.  It was done on a different computer and I don't have access to that software anymore so this is just a several generation copy of the original computer layout design.
