Do you see what I see...

[illin8]

So we scrapped plans to go with new construction with our new house and am buying something else. During the home inspection today, I got a better look in the basement. Owner is an amateur photographer and hadn't finished a blackroom in the basement. Do you see what I see!?!? oh yeah

Here is it from the outside

And walking in

The photo sink (or whatever you call it) with water hookups coming down and utility sink

View from the back, the SWMBO has an idea of what I'm up to but really doesn't know the extent of it. Thats a vent fan on the back right wall.

It's about 8-9' wide and about 20'+ deep with wall strip outlets all around and wrap around countertops in the back. The 30-amp dryer outlet is just outside the door. Can we say E-HERMS?!?! muuuahahahahahahaha

I will finally be able to have a space just for brewing...scored an extra fridge too! I can't wait to hook it up...not closing til July though...guess I'll start buying the parts soon. Pol I'll be in touch!!

No, the pictures don't seem to be working.
Sounds good, though. My basement looks like 18 inches of crawl space over musty dirt. I'm jealous.


Edit- The pictures do work. Now I'm really jealous.

I see a furnace on a flat basement floor. is that legal in RI? Usually they're up on a little 3" curb.

Just kidding, looks like an awesome potential brewery. It's funny, I got my carboys from my dad's winemaking operation, which is also in a former darkroom.

Haha... I showed the pic to my wife, a photographer, and she started drooling over the "photo lab"...

Bah.

 

[blackwaterbrewer]

very jealous.

So, did you look at any other part of the house? I guess it doesn't matter since you're gonna be in the basement all of the time! Good luck on the move & congratulations on the score. - Dwain

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked...can't wait to get in. I can see fermenters lined up already!

 

[SpaghettiMonster]

Very nice. I hate how houses here in AZ rarely have basements.

 

[boo boo]

I'm wondering where in the first photo could you put the wet bar and pool table.......

 

[illin8]

Easy...it'll go on the opposite side of the unfinished basement just outside the darkroom/future brewery...

my basement is dirt, so no go , but the attached barn works well
