  Greetings gang! It's been a while. I "finished" my under stair cellar (except for completing a

  a large hole in the hallway, I will receive plenty of domestic encouragement to get this
  completed soone...

  That looks awesome. Love the red paint on the crawl door back there, and the wood floor is
  mighty nice. Although I must agree w/ Vacuumpumpman, it makes me extremely jealous given the
