Your basement, show me them!

I have a few photos to share. These are listed on another forum, but I wanted to share them here. Feel free to post what you have going on!

I am close to getting my basement in order. My wife wants to finish it out in a few years, but I kind of like it as it stands now. The only thing left if to drop some electrical to a workbench that I will build on the wall adjacent to the wall where the TV and sliding glass door are. I hope you enjoy. I have more stuff to go up, but wanted to show what was done. I have re-purposed an entertainment center, kitchen cabinet, and bookcase for storage.

Tubas? Tubas in the basement? Surely, you jest. Every tubist worth their salt knows that tubas belong in the dining room. And the living room. And the kitchen. And the spare bedroom. :lol:

I'm pretty sure basements were outlawed in Texas and Oklahoma decades ago. They exist only in museums.

Hey, there are no clothes hanging on your treadmill... everyone knows that what they are really made for! :D

No footprints on it, either! In fact... there appears to be very little wear on all of that equipment! :shock: I got rid of all of my exercise equipment a few years back and invested in a new refrigerator.

Actually, I am in envy. My basement is more-or-less a 'watery hell' consisting of two 100 gallon wash/acid tanks and the associated materials for cleaning brass.

We have a small 1/2 basement that houses the freezer and big ol' wood furnace. I'm getting one of those pre-fab outdoor buildings delivered next week because we have only the little basement area and no attic.

Every man needs a 'pouting' area, that looks like a dandy Matthew!

I will be organizing the garage and getting it on par with the basement soon. Plans are a modular shelving system and a nice workbench using "Wiremold" to bring the power out to the front.
