Building A Basement?

 Trish and I have been trying to figure out how to add some usable storage space to our house so the garage can be fully empty and really be just a garage. We considered constructing a storage building in the back yard as that is what many of the houses in the island have.  Than we hit in a better idea…

Why not come off the back of the garage apartment building itself with a storage room that has a door directly into the building instead of a separate storage space?

So, we got hold of our friend Woody and he and his main builder, Armando, are well on the way.

When Trish asked me what we should call this little addition, I replied, “Why don’t we call it ‘the basement?’ After all, it’s going to be the home for all the stuff that might usually live in a basement.”

So, we are going to have the only “basement” on the island!  When we tell people here that we are building a “basement,” they look at us like we have lost all good sense.  Then, when it is explained, they too get a good laugh.

Watch out and you might see the finished product when all the work is done.
