Quoted from Miguel351:You people with basements have it so good, I hope you realize that. In California, typically if it was built after 1940, it ain't got no basement.
Congrats on the great game room, though. It's easy to tell it took a lot of planning and consideration. It was very well executed and came out amazing.
wait - is that really true? Houses in California don't generally have basements? Even in the suburbs?
