“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
It's a 100 year old house.
We tore up the floors, the plaster off the brick walls and the lathe (sp?) and plaster ceilings. Ray and Gunny put drywall up on the ceiling, got a concrete floor put in, we painted the ceiling and the exposed pipes that are just below the ceiling. It looks pretty good. Oh, and Gunny ran new electrical in there since the old stuff was ... well, old and there needed to be quite a few more outlets put in.
Next step is to put a protective coating on the floor, as it is going to be his personal workshop.

This is function over form but still looks pretty good.
A lot of these old houses have hardwood floors - used for having dances- in their basements. Really pretty cool but this one had had termites and the floor was eaten up.
These homes also used to be heated with coal. Gunny and I ended up utterly filthy when we pulled all the ceiling down during the summer. Ugh!
