The Lower Floor

This is the basement layout so far. To me the basement is an afterthought, I gave Aaron free reign to do as he wished down here. It will be his project as it seems to be man-centred. Rec room and gym? It just reeks of sports watching, pool playing, working out-ish business.
Perhaps it's a bit short-sighted of me though since we do have a young burgeoning sports enthusiast and possible serial animated movie watcher (from what I've heard). So I may be spending more time down there than I think...hmmm, better make a claim for design approval here too.
We also tucked the nanny room downstairs. We thought it was important for hers and our own privacy. Her room will have an attached, yet shared, cheater bathroom. Later this can be a guest room or room for an older child.
This level will have a walk-out to the backyard
and will likely have something of a view although not as much as the upper levels of course.
We are going to push the furnace room in further and bump the landing wall back to the gym to capture more usable space down here. We could then have the space for a games table or just more space for stuff.
The rest of the area down here is designated as crawl space, and you know what that means...storage!! Welcome home Christmas decorations!! Have a nice stay corporate taxes!! See you next winter snowboard and ice skates!!
Finally, my car will see the inside of a garage!!
