This old house was my grandparents.
Basement was never finished except for a small area of concrete.
The rest was dirt, cobwebs, old junk from the past.
Started making wine down here several years ago, then one day decided it really needed to be cleaned up.
Maybe I got carried away but we really enjoy it now.

Welcome to TangleFoot Tavern and brewery.

Not sure how to post pics and a discription of each(give me a break...I'm old) so I will just post pic's in somewhat of an order.
I wanted a cabin/lodge type theme, so this is what I came up with.

I guess I can only post 5 pic's per post so will show the change in the next posts.

That CAN'T be the same place! Wow, that was a remarkable makeover.
 
Nice work. The before pics look like Buffalo Bill's (from Silence of the Lambs). But the after are amazing! Very jealous.
 
added a gun safe ( for all of my little friends)

Check out my gallery for more pics.

And thanks for the comments guy's, and I do spend most of my free time down here now. And to think I used to hate to even come down here.

Just hope this inspires someone with a craphole to make it into something they can really enjoy.

Here are some signs I had made for my Tavern.

bravo...you should turn it into a man style bed and bar inn (instead of a bed and breakfast) and rent the place out!
 
God, I'm gonna see if I can talk SWMBO into vacationing in KS next summer. . .
 
If I had a man cave that nice the world would never see me again. I would order all my grain in and just hang out in the cave and make beer while watching the tube or surfing the net. Absolutely beautifull transformation of a crap hole to a honey hole. Does SWMBO come visit often? Get her too stay down there with you and help brew and you got it licked. "Who cares if WW III is going on outside, were havin too much fun down here" Thanks for the pic man.

Wow that went from creepy serial killer's cellar to bitchin' beer basement! Kudos.
 
Excellent job! I am curious- the original pics showed a lot of moisture in the dirt floor. Did you have to do anything special to alleviate that?
 
well, it was always wet done here after rains but I added dirt around my foundation and this really helped. I need some new gutters yet and I will have it all solved.
A dehumidifier has helped also.

And Thanks for all the comments guy's.

AND...If anyone wants to come visit in June, I always need help cutting and haulin' wheat:D
.....but no adoptions..........sorry

Watch out man - you're headed straight for the guard rail in that second picture! :D

Great job on the basement - and with a bed down there, you don't even have to leave to crash! Tanglefoot Bed and Bar indeed!
