Congratulations! Were I a bachelor That's exactly the kind of place I'd love to have!

I second the suggestion of starting with the foundation. If later on down the road you decide to do it the house, and all of your hard work, will pop apart. Particularly if you do things like use rigid or spray foam insulation. It will pop right off. There goes $4,000 + worth of petrochemicals that you have to tear down drywall to remove. Oops.
