Lucy and I purchased a house in October of 2007. It was the perfect house for us. Just the right size, with a 1 acre fenced in yard for our dog. It also has a ginormous garage Argh Argh Argh.
But....There was a slight problem (for most people) with the house.
The Basement was flooded when the mortgage company shut of the power after the previous owners left. The basement had three feet of water in it. The realty company had the electric turned back on and had the basement pumped dry. The sump pumps kept the basement dry. Lucy and I looked at the house the day after they pumped the basement. Now to most people the sight we saw would have sent them running to the hills. However Lucy and I are not most people...LOL We looked at it and said....we can work with this.
After we closed on the house we tore into the basement and gutted it down to the bare concrete block. We washed walls, floors and ceilings. We then had the whole house fogged with Concrobium to remove any traces of mold that may have been in the house. Once we had the house clean we moved in.
As I was sitting looking at the cool spiral stairs that lead to the basement I decided to design and build my own "Man Cave"
This blog will chronicle my progress as I move forward.
