To be real honest basements kinda creep me out. Basements that are finished and look like the rest of the house are fine, but unfinished, damp, spiderwebby ones - creepy! Let's start with that the door to this one is in what is supposed to be the master bedroom, although we're using it as an office. There's no lock on it - whammy number 2. There are no risers on the stairs, so it's open and if someone were below they could grab your ankle as you descended.
Just dusty and damp, really nothing wrong. This is my first night alone in the new place and I thought I should go down and make nice with the basement before it gets dark.
Behind the door is just the pressure tank for the well and some paint, nothing there.
Past the door and the water heater and furnace is just some shelves, and another door, no biggie, right?
Behind that old door are stairs leading up to the metal doors leading to outside. This one locks to keep people out, good thing.
Nothing scary down there after all. Tell me that at midnight, lol. Wish the electrical box wasn't down there, afraid if I lose power it will just stay off until morning - I have flashlights. :)
Looks morgish to me! I'd be sleeping with my gun under my pillow and machete on my nightstand....just sayin'...start a Scrabble game when you start getting freaked!
ReplyDeleteNo risers! That freaks me out EVERY time! Yuck.
ReplyDelete*shiver* - Oh my does that basement bring up some unpleasant memories. We had one a lot like that in our house when I was about 14 and .... well .... yours does look well lit!
ReplyDeletePretty cool. I like it. I am sure you will when a big storm hits. A safe place to hide, no?
ReplyDeletebasements creep me out a bit too, and I was 'stashed away' in one for 4 years. lol. just kidding, sorta. my "bedroom" was in the basement at my mom's house for the last few yrs i lived at home, she bought a 2 bedroom house knowing I'd be moving out soon.(guess she wanted to get rid of me as much as I wanted out of there??) so my brother got the other room and i got the basement. (which some teenagers may find that awesome to have a whole floor to yourself, but uh, I shared mine with mushrooms.... ew)
ReplyDeleteWell, you've convinced me -- seal the whole thing up! I've never liked basements either! lol
ReplyDeleteso your next honey-do list starts with "put risers on the basement stairs"...
