Thanks for the welcome, all. I definitely love the basement. It's my room, and my wife's agreed that I can do anything I want with it. And, yes, she's sticking to that agreement--we'll see what happens when I start covering the room with sound panels. For now, it'll be home to a small theater, a pool or ping pong table, and my MAME arcade.

Before CO, I never lived in places where there were basements. I've definitely grown accustomed to them. My brother just bought a house with no basement, and I find it really strange. Where's he going to put his theater?
