Basement Cleaning

Looking towards my workbench in the clean, more-empty basement.

Well, after dragging my feet on it for a while, I finally finished up cleaning my basement this evening. I still have a pile of things to take to Salvation Army (hopefully tomorrow) and a whole bunch of bottles to get rid of. Anyone who wants to return them to Red Wagon — where they will all be accepted — is welcome to have them all, and any deposit obtained from returning them. I just don’t feel like it. There is probably $20 worth, too.
While I know it won’t sound as good as it could, I also hung the rear speakers from the ceiling in the basement, getting them off of stands, wires out of the way, and generally making things look nicer.
As can be seen here I also did away with the very large green ping pong-like table thing, and turned what was the rack of computers into a shelf for things. This shelf wasn’t needed as I spent a good bit of time earlier in the year condensing many of my computing things on to my desktop, saving power, cutting down on maintenance, etc.
So, all in all this is a good thing. Hopefully I’ll get to cleaning the bathroom(s), kitchen, and doing a general dusting and vacuuming sometime this holiday weekend.
Have you ever thought about hanging a drop ceiling?
Yep, but I’m not going to do that until walls are up… And that’s not going to happen until I get $10k extra and enough time to do it. :) I was about to do it ~1.5 years ago, but I realized that it simply wouldn’t provide me with enough benefit yet. I’m fine with an unfinished basement for the time being.

Your basement is bigger than my entire house :)
That’s one reason I love having a basement. It essentially doubles the square footage of my house, but isn’t counted (much) into the purchase price because it’s technically not livable space. (No emergency egress available.)
