To finish the cafe. The stainless steel cart where the white rubber tub is on top is where the dirty dishes go and then to the kitchen for the dishwasher. Sometimes the tub is clean and it is taken out to the front corridor to the refrigerated room to get fruits and vegetables. This stainless steel cart is kept on the right side of the Cafe around the corner of the booths. The cart is kept by the side wall three feet out from the refrigeration unit.
There is a second stainless steel cart in the kitchen kept by the side of the left stove on the area between the stove and the refrigerator. There is a second white rubber tub that can be used on the second stainless steel cart when needed.
There are brown stained wood boxes kept on each of the booth tables where rectangle napkins are kept. They are kept in the boxes.

This finishes the Cafe. There is another mop sink in the back part of the second right emergency exit corridor. The sink counter is five feet wide and it is the same as the mop sinks and counter in the mop room upstairs off the back right stairwell. The sink is the same as thethe one upstairs except this one is 5 feet wide instead of 7 feet wide. Everything else about the counter sink and the floor sink is the same. The shiny brass pipes and faucets.
There is a 5 foot wide built in wall cabinet above this sink and counter. The wall cabinet is two sections with 14 inch wide doors. The wall cabinet is brown stained wood. There are brown towels for drying hands in the section above the sink, There is a towel rack on the right wall out from the sink cabinet.
On the left side of the wall cabinet pine cleaner is kept, white powder bleach cleanser for cleaning the sinks.
The mop sink is the same as the one upstairs in the mop room.
The Mop and bucket is kept on the left side in front of the mop sink. The mop and bucket are also the same as the ones upstairs in the mop room.
This emergency exit corridor is the one that originally had a cabinet the same as the other emergency corridors but this one did not have anything in the cabinet so I decided to have the second sink and mop sink in this emergency corridor.

This finishes designind and decorating the lower level of the Palace.

First I think I measured the kitchen corridor and the back exit corridor wrong. This means that the laundry room has to be 18 feet wide instead of 20 feet wide. I think everything will still fit. Then this means that the Men's and Women's batjroom are 10 1/2 feet wide instead of 9 1/2 feet wide. The shower stalls will be 6 inches wider and the latrine stalls will be 6 inches wider. I think this will straighten out the lining up of the corridors.
The Mop siinks. The cabinets will be the same kind of paint finish as the cabinets in the other exit corridors. I beleive they are red enamel with bright green design. The vinyl wallpaper lining under the sink will be the same as the vinyl shelf paper in the cabinets.
The sinks, pipes and faucets are the same as the ones in the mop room upstairs at the Main level of the Palace. The set up for the sink area is the same as that upstairs in the mop room.
The upper wall cabinet is also red/bright green enamel fininsh. There are brown towels for drying hands in the top section of the wall cabinet on the right side. There are 2 liquid hand soap refills in the lower section and there are stacks of off white striped cotton towels for cleaning stacked next to the liquid hand soap.

The entrance door to the basement are located at the end of the exit corridors. The left corridor the door is on the left side at the end and the right corridor the door is on the right side at the end. The stairs are 4 feet wide. They go down to the basement to a room. Each side has a room at the bottom. There is a rectangle triangle arch in the center of the rooms. There is a closet under the top of the stairs. There are two 6 feet high wood ladders in each of the closets. The entrance doors are Moroccan red/brown. The door knob and hardware is antique brass. The rooms are under the bathrooms above.To the front side of the rooms at the far walls is a closet under the alcove above. This closet is 7 feet x 7 feet. This is where the hot water heaters are kept. One each side.
All of the floors ithe basement are dark brown ceramic floor tiles. They are 12 inch x 12 inch size.
The stairs are also Moroccan red/brown wooden stairs. there is another room between these rooms and that room is under the laundry room which is 17 feet x 18 feet size. The room is 18 feet wide. There iare cabinets against the back inside wall. There are a 4 feet wide x 3 feet deep cabinet each end side of the room with a 10 feet cabinet in between. The 10 feet cabinet is divided into four 2 1/2 sections. There are double doors to the right side and double doors to the left side. The taller end cabinets have double 1/1/2 feet wide doors. The end cabinets are 5 feet high. The center cabinets have dark brown formica counter top.
Different sizes of light bulbs are kept in the end cabinets. The end cabinets have 4 shelves inside. The cabinets are Moroccan red/brown.
There is a main corridor that runs around the basement. The corridor is the same layout as the corridors above at the lower level of the Palace. The rooms in the center of the basement are the same size as the rooms above. The columns are all the same and the doors are all the same. The basement doors are Moroccan red/brown with brown stained frames and moldings. Where there is a door above there is a door and where there is an arch above there is an arch in the basement.
More about the basement next time.

I think it best if the laundry room stays at 20 feet wide. Instead I decided to make the dining room 2 feet wider. The kitchen corridors move over 1 foot each side and also the pantries. The kitchen will be 34 feet wide. The back part of the Cafe will be 34 feet wide. There will be 7 feet wall around the front of the cafe. The 7 feet goes from the left corner to the entrance door of the Cafe bathroom. There is also 7 feet wall from the right corner to the refrigeration unit.
This means that the center area of the lower level, the center area is 62 feet wide x 65 feet long. I made the width of the center area 1 foot wider each side. This will line up the back kitchen corridors by 2 feet each corridor.
I want the cabinets in the second right emergency exit to be brown stained wood cabinets. This will be the sink cabinet and the upper wall cabinet. The counter top is dark brown formica counter top. The knobs and hinges are antique brass.

There is an antique brass ceiling light fixture at the top of the basement stairs. There is another ceiling light fixture in the center of the ceiling. The light fixtures are the same. The switch is located to the side of the entrance doors to the basement. The switches are off white with antique brass metal plate cover. The set up in the other entrance room to the basement is the same.
The archs at the front of the entrance rooms are rectangle.
The room in between the entrance rooms is 17 feet x 28 feet size. There are two 2 feet x 2 feet columns at the front of this room. The columns are 10 feet in from the side walls. The light fixture is the same as the ones in the entrance rooms. The switch is the same and located on the left side wall.
There are a 10feet wide x 6 feet high x 2 feet deep brown stained cabinets each side of the outer wall. The cabinets have 2 sets of double doors. The doors are 2 feet wide. Different kinds of light bulbs are kept in these cabinets. There is a regular size 8 feet long cabinet in between the 10 feet wide cabinets. The cabinet in the center has dark brown formica counter top. For now the center cabinet is empty. It has four 1 1/2 feet wide drawers across the top and two sets of 1 1/2 feet wide double doors at the lower part of the cabinet.
The floors in these rooms are medium brown 12 inch x 12 inch ceramic tiles.

The rest of the basement is laid out the same as the lower level floor above. The corridor tiles are medium brown with white specks. If the floor above was hardwood floors in the basement they are medium brown 12inch x 12 inch ceramic tiles. The rest of the floors are tiled the same as the floors above.
The lights in the basement are also the same as the light fixtures in the rooms above. Except for the rooms under the sitting rooms. They do not have ceiling fans in the basement. Those lights are antique brass ceiling light fixtures. they have white opaque glass covers. The lights in the three entrance rooms also have white opaque glass covers for the lights.
The lights in the walk thru do not have fane. Thwey have antique brass round mosaic fixtures.
Where ever there are switches for lights they are the same in the basement. The outlet plugs are also positioned the same as the lower level. If the plate covers are shiny brass upstairs they are shiny brass in the basement. The same if they are antique brass they are antique brass in the basement.
I think solar power has turbines. The machinery for the solar is located in the basement rooms under the sitting rooms.

There are window seats in the front part of the basement like the window seats of the upper floors. The basement is laid out the same but there is no stained glass.
Most of the walls of the basement is probably cement blocks and they are painted off white.

Water supply pipes, gas lines, drain pipes run through the basement above by the basement ceilings to where they have to go. Ducts for soem of the climate control also would run above. We need professionals for this of course.

I think I covered the basement. This finishes designing the Main parts of the Palace.
Next time more about the right and left courtyards and the greenhouses.

[WitchQueen]

I think we could have one more boy teen at the Palace. He would be an African teen. This means that Mohamed's grandson and the Moroccan boy would share a room and the Palestinian boy and the boy would share a room. Two of the boys would use the computers in the alcoves. All computers printers have scanners except the ones in the alcove. Those boys can use the printer scanners in the library.
I decided not to have cabinets with the light bulbs in the room centered between the entrance rooms of the basement. The entrance rooms and the center room are painted light brown. The center room has 1 1/2 foot wall come down from the ceiling from the side walls and in between the brick columns. The ceiling of the center room is planked brown stained wood.
The second left side alcove has a sink and mop sink. The sinks and cabinet are the same design as the other sink and mop sink set up. The pipes, sinks and faucets are the same as the setup in the mop room of the main floor and the mop setup in the right side emergency corridor on the lower level above. This cabinet is 7 feet wide. There is a 7 foot wall cabinet above the lower cabinet. The upper cabinet is built in and has the same items in the right and left sections as the wall cabinet in the emergency exit corridor. The mop bucket with the mop in it is kept in the right front corner of this alcove.
The rooms under the stairwells are wallpapered with dark maroon vinyl wallpaper. the ceilings are brown stained planked wood. There are stairs to the basement in the first left side stairwell. This is the stairwell located past the elevator alcove. The basement part of the stairwell continues design of the upper floors. The elevator goes down to the basement. Everything is the same about the elevator. The metal ladder and the mechanisms to operate the elevator extend down to the basement. The pad of the elevator rests below the floor of the elevator shaft.
Switches and plugs are the same colors as the switches and plugs in the rooms above.
The room below the kitchen has the same style island. There are a built in area below the built in area for the refrigerators above. There are no refrigerators in the basement. The doors from the room under the kitchen to the room under the Cafe. The basement door between these rooms are kept locked.
The rooms under the Cafe have the same kind of windows with stained glass picture above the windows. The panel above the entrance doors is the same as the one above but instead of saying Cafe there are maroon stars. The front entrance doors to the room below the Cafe are the same design as the doors to the Cafe.
There is the compressor for the refrigerated room. The compressor is located in the room under the refrigerated room. The electric outlet is located 1 1/2 feet up from the wall. It is centered on the back wall.
The rooms below the shoe closet isexactly the same as the shoe closet above. The columns and cabinets are the same. This is where extra rolls of wallpaper are stored. They are stored in the cabinets. The rolls of wallpaper are wrapped and marked to where they match. The closet below the luggage closet are planked the same as above. There is a 5 feet wide x 6 feet high brown stained cabinet in each of the closets. There are rolls of wallpaper stored in these cabinets too.
I decided to keep the ceiling fans and lights at the walk thru area. They are the same as the ceiling fans and lights on the floor above. There is also a ceiling fan and light in the room under the shoe closet. Light and fan are the same as in the shoe closet.
The walls in the rooms under the sitting rooms are painted light brown. The turbines and machinery are located in these rooms. The machine rooms are painted light brown.
The 7 feet x 7 feet closets where the hot water heaters are kept. The closets are tiled with beige 4 inch x 4 inch ceramic tiles. This also includes the ceilings of the closets. This will protect the walls and ceilings from water if there is a leak.
Next time the courtyard.
Instead of the rest of the walls being off white I decided they should be low lustre white.
There are four brown stained booths and tables in the room under the Cafe. They are located to the right and left of the entrance doors and they are in front of the first 2 windows each side.
There are ceramic tile moldings around the bottom of the walls along the floor. The moldings match the tiles of the floors.
There are built in closet like the ones in the boy's rooms. The closets are in the basement rooms under the boy's rooms.
There are climate control vents in the basement situated the same as the ones for the lower level floor above.
I decdied there are stain glass windows in the basement above the window seats and along the walk thrus. Mohamed could design the stain glass windows for the Palace.

The boys(guys) Their rooms are located either side right or left corridor. The right corridor is to the far right of the front entrance to the Cafe and the left corridor is around the corner to the far left. The Afghani teen has the first room on the left side, the Puerto Rican teen has the center room off the left corridor and Mohamed's grandson and the Moroccan teen boy share the left end room.
The right side. The Iraqi boy has the first right room. The african teen has the center room and the Palestinian and Eygyptian teen share the end right room.
The boys have closets in the basement. to store extra stuff they might have. The rooms are under their bedrooms. The first room on the right side in the basement is for Mohamed's grandson. He has two closets in this room. The Moroccan teen has the first left side room. He has two closets. The Palestinian teen has the right center room where his closets are and the Eygptian teen has the center left room. He also has two closets in the basement.
The African teen and the Puerto Rican teen each have one closet in the left front room. The Afghani and Iraqi teens each have one closet in the right front room.
This way the boys have extra closets and the girls have their trunks on the platform above the craft room upstairs.

The ceilings in the rooms with the basement closets, the ceilings are planked brown stained wood. The ceilings of the main back, side and front corridors are white textured panels like the ceilings of the Main floor and the lower level of the Palace.
The room under the Cafe, the ceiling is the same brown suspended ceiling as the Cafe above. The ceilings of the areas below the emergency exit corridors are the same suspended ceilings as the corridors above. The alcoves are finished the same as the lower level alcoves. The room below the kitchen is planked with white semi gloss planks. The room below the dining room is planked brown stained wood. The rooms where the turbines and the machinery is located, the ceilings are planked white semi gloss planks.
There are a water heater in the room below the kitchen. The water heaters are in the same kind of built in area as the refrigerators in the kitchen. The water heater closets have a door. The doors, frames and moldings are Moroccan red/brown. The top of the built in closets are tiled with the same dark green mosaic tiles as the kitchen above. The inside of the water heater closets are tiled 3 1/2 feet high with dark green mosaic tiles.
The closets in the room below the shoe room are wall papered with medium brown vinyl wallpaper. They are not planked. The ceilings are planked though.
The basement entrance rooms, the ceilings are the same kind of suspended ceilings as the Cafe. The center room between the entrance rooms, the ceiling is planked brown stained wood.

There are cabinets in the rooms under the emergency exit corridors. The rooms are the same size as the corridors. The cabinets are the same design as the cabinets in the exit corridors above but instead of being red enamel with green enamel design the basement cabinets are medium brown enamel with green design. The basement cabinets shelves are lined with medium brown vinyl wallpaper. The basement corridors under the emegency exit corridors are painted light brown semi gloss paint. Any of the rooms painted light brown are light brown semi gloss paint. The light bulbs are kept in the cabinets in the basement corridor rooms. There are different kinds of light bulbs.

There are a wall of shelves in the turbine rooms. The shelves are on the walls toward the back of the basement. Extra ceramic tiles are stored on the shelves. There are doors along the shelves. The shelves are 5 feet high and the wall should be 17 feet long. There are 3 sets of double doors. The doors are 2 1/2 feet wide. The shelves are 2 feet deep. Cement blocks hold up the shelves.
The corner and ceiling moldings in the alcoves, the moldings are made of white plastic.

[WitchQueen]

The ceilings of the corridors from the back corridor to the room under the kitchen, the ceilings are brown stained plsnked wood. The doors between the room under the kitchen to the room under the Cafe are not locked. The room under the Cafe bathroom is locked in case Mohamed wants to keep some things in this room.
There are booths in the basement room under the Cafe. The booths are the same as the ones in the Cafe above and they are positioned in the same arrangement as the Cafe. The booths are brown stained wood with dark brown vinyl cushions.
The room under the shoe closet has the same design carpet as the shoe closet and the lower room has the same kind of pedestal table in the center. The table is low and people can sit on this table. There is also the same design carpet in the center room in between the entrance rooms to the basement. The carpet in the center room is rectangle and it is 15 feet x 25 feet size.
The platform at the top of the basement stairs is 4 feet x 5 feet size. The closet under the platform is the same size. The closet is tiled 3 1/2 feet high with small white mosaic tiles with white grout. The upper part of the closets is painted light brown semi-gloss paint and the ceilings are white low lustre. The water heaters are kept in the closet s under the stairs. The water heaters are electric so they do not need a vent to the outside.

the alcove closets in the front entrance rooms are also tiled with small white mosaic tiles 3 1/2 feet high with light brown semi-gloss paint on the upper walls.. I did not want the water heaters to be in the closets under the alcove above with all the electrical wires and the switch panels. Each of these closets under the alcove above have two 5 feet high wood ladders stored in the basement alcove closets.

There are three 5 feet wide shelf units in the turbine rooms. The shelf units are on the walls toward the entrance rooms. The units are 6 feet high and they have the bottom section and 6 more shelves. The units have 2 1/4 feet wide double doors on each of the 5 feet wide units. The cabinets are brown stained wood. The shelves are reinforced with 3 inch wide brown stained wood supports. They will help to support ceramic tiles stored on these shelves. The tiles match tiles in the Palace in case we need to repair any of them.
Now the Main part of the Palace has been designed. It is much nicer than the original design I that I planned with out writing down.
Next time we really will design the right and left courtyard gardens.
