Russell Nash:
If you built the place so you could get stuff into the basement, you should have put a mechanic's pit in the garage. You could have lowered the BP down into the pit right onto rollers. I am of course ignoring the price of doing something like that, but oh well.

The first house I remember had a double-wide flight of stairs that went right to the back yard from the basement. It was totally wasted on my father, but I'd love to have one of those now. Then again, the new property is only 2500 sqft. That would take a chunk out of my yard.

Bernd:
Rusell, hard for me to get over the fact that you only have 2500sqft of property. My house is 2300 sqft, basement is the same size. I guess that's the case when living in a populated area in Europe.

Anyway, I've got the last of the bench work put up. The hard part is done. Now for the details. Here's a couple of pics or if you like here's the link to the web page it's on.

That's about it for now. Have somemore cleaning up to do.

rleete:
Shoulda replaced the floor before putting in the benches.

Bernd:
They're individual squares. I've got a few packages left to fix those. Other thing I was thinking of doing is once everything is in place to put a new floor on top of the old one.

Russell Nash:
The house is a decent size, but over four floors.

It's all a question of where I wanted to put my time and money. I didn't want to spend either on commuting or driving to the store or cutting grass for that matter. We only need the one car, and we put less than 5000 miles a year on it. In exchange for that, we have a small property. We're on a "play street" with a "walking pace" speed limit, so the whole block (about 30 houses worth) is a big playground for my kids and the 30+ others on the street. The yard is just a place for the dog to relax in.

If we all liked the same thing, the world would be really boring. ::)

I guess I'll mark myself as :offtopic: and return this thread to it's regularly scheduled programming.
