Does your house have a basement?  How much time do you spend thinking about it?  I guarantee it's not as much time as Tom and I have spent on our basement since moving into this house.  It's not very big, or very useful (yet), but boy does it take up a lot of our time. 

If you were to eavesdrop on us randomly, there's a pretty good chance you'd here us debating basement flooring options, or radon levels, or something else basement related.  Mostly, we just want to get it to a point where we can put our shoes and coats there.  It doesn't seem like much, but boy is it taking us a while!
