Taking over the basement......hmmm......you're giving me ideas! I can cover the pool table with the ping pong table (take it off the frame) and put flannel over it for a wall that lays down. This could be a prospect. Nice big windows on one side, cool in summer, has heat vents for winter. Living room furniture there already. Has potential. But then to contend with last son who plays games down there. But there's too much stuff hanging around. What can I do to "make over" an air hockey table? hmmm.......
P.S. Hubby is not handy (he is, but chooses to use his talents elsewhere) to build rooms. I've wanted a bathroom down there so when people use the pool I don't get them in the upstairs. But he won't budge on a contractor. Now, if I had a bathroom there, I wouldn't have to come upstairs at all!
