Wow, Adrian. Looks *very* nice. Congradulations on a job well done;
you now posses a well above-adequate LEGO building room. And
considering how often we all do LEGO, thats practically your whole life,
so indeed, better make it a nice place :)

Yikes. Man, I practically live in a basement.
Seriously. When we moved here two years ago, I negotiated into trading
what would have been my room upstairs for the basement. Everything I
own is down here, including my bed. I pretty much spend my life down
here. I roam upstairs every so often, to forage for food, and to see
sunlight. And sometimes, I actually go outside to walk to Gamestop to
buy the game I had a preorder on.
It's not nearly as bad as yours (Adrians) before you fixed it up; it's
painted white with a tiled floor of brown and various
tans randomly patterning it (er...a random pattern? aw, don't bother
askin.) Around 70% of the rooms perimiter there is a brown wooden
"wall" that is pushed about 8-10 inches into the room, up to about 4'
from the ground. The top of this composes a never-ending shelf all
around the room that is pretty useful.
I have always wanted to paint the whole room white, and get carpet; as
it is, I have a huge carpet piece under the LEGO section (yea, I build
on the ground). Your adventures in basement upgrading inspire ascending :)
And Jon, yea, basements may be pretty cool, but until you've been in
one, you don't know how they attract dust, and spiders. Every so often
I look in a bin of LEGO to see that a spider decided that it was open
real estate.

| (...) It's storytime with Uncle Adrian :) I love my basement. I don't know if I have any more room down there than when I was spread out in 3 rooms on the first floor, but everything is much better organized, plus this system is designed to expand (...)
