How do you have a basement and a crawl space?

Cool. Dont listen to me. I love it when I warn clients of stuff and they say it never happens and when it happens I smile a bit inside. Just like when I tell people what broke and they dont believe it because well that never broke before. Therefore it can never break.


We have alarms all by the drains. Is that right? You guys can come down here and look. Let's Party!

All joking aside, congrats on your finished basement, Spaulding. That's awesome and exciting for the kids.

My sister has pop-a-shot and a ping pong table in hers. But they fold up the ping pong table when not in use to save space for parties.

You could also get one of those arcade machines with the 300 cool games from the 80s and 90s.


Our ceilings are low. I'd love one of those tabletop atari things. I could waste my time with that instead of on here! Gotta get the high score!


How high is your ceiling?



And what's it made of?

I also have a swing in the basement. Not a joke. It's in the basement part.

We'll come over if you install the stripper pole. You dance. We'll all bring 100 in singles. That's a party. After that, Darko will inspect the draining system and your pumps.

My grandmother's house has both. It's a split-level, so the crawlspace is under the ground floor but off the basement/downstairs.

Fill it with inflatable furniture so it will float when your basement (eventually) floods.

Also, get a foosball table.

Turn an inflatable pool into a ball pit.

Also darts maybe?

Yeah...seems completely reasonable.

Don't forget the beer fridge...

I am not a fan of drop ceilings nor should you put those lights above the pool table. The lights ruin ping pong games.

Most split levels in the area have both.

I was gonna ask the same question. I've always known it to be one or the other.

I've seen this before with a friend's house. The basement was under half of the house and the crawlspace was under the other half of it rather than having a basement under the entire house. This was on a standard 2 story, not a split level and also was relatively new construction.

Get a 60 in TV and a PS4.

That combination will get far more usage than any table top games which will become expensive tables to store things on.

But really, between a giant television, video game consoles, and big couches, what do under 18 yr olds really need?

if there is an addition sometimes they just do a crawl space instead of a basement. but thats not typically where a sump pump would be.

we have 3000 ft of dry basement space to figure out what to do with. pretty excited to work on that.

our goal is to also be the place where kids would want to hang out because i'm a helicopter parent.
