I would consider it absolutely perfect for my purposes if only the builder had reoriented the boiler (we have baseboard hot water heat and the boiler supplies hot water as well) 90 degrees to the right (when facing the rear wall). There are 3 steel support posts that are easily worked around. I don't know about designing a basement from scratch, but we recently acquired a clean and dry one that's 34' x 24' and is essentially one big room divided by a stairway (there's also an outside entrance that doesn't intrude into the space).

Oh, and a well-stocked mini fridge full of frosty barley pop would be mandatory! Lighting, insulation, drywall and carpeting would give the entire space a comfortable, hospitable atmosphere. It'd have a bathroom and crew lounge, as well as a decent workshop area (at least 10x10) and a dispatcher's office. To me, the "perfect basement" would be one which would allow me to have a 10-15 scale mile long mainline that would support TT/TO operations. I knocked down one wall to create my current 14x32 layout room. Unfortunately, it only has a 32x32 basement divided into four rooms. I actually ended up with a much nicer 100+ year old Craftsman foursquare which is much more suited to our lifestyles and tastes. All the utilities were under the stairs, as was a half bath, and the washer/dryer/mud sink were upstairs! The basement was perfectly layout-ready (meaning it was just a concrete box!), with no posts. The stairs came down the center, naturally creating two rooms. The basement was a basically empty 30x70 dream. I lost a bid on a 10 year old ranch a few years ago while househunting. I'm curious to hear what some of you have to say. My 4 x 8 table is bringing me much enjoyment at the moment. (The furnace and water heater were in the middle with the support post.)Īnyway, I've thought how much of a layout could I have had in that space.
It went the full length of the house with only one support post right smack in the middle. The basement however, I wish I could have folded up and taken it with me.
The kitchen was the wrong shape so we weren't particularly interested in it. We looked at a ranch with a somewhat unusual 1st floor plan. I went house hunting a few years ago with my wife. Ideas: Would it be perfectly square or rectangular? Would it be divided into two or more rooms? Accessiblitily? size, location of utiliites, furnace, and water heaters, etc.) for a new layout, how big and what shape would your basement be?
If you could construct your own basement (i.e. Perhaps this has been asked before in a variety of other posts.
