- My credo
- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
My house is about 1400 sqft. I would love to have a basement. Being built on a slab, everything runs through the attic - water, HVAC, gas line for the fireplace, compressed air to the garage, and wiring. My water heater, air compressor and breaker panel are in a utility room on the opposite end from the garage. Would have loved a different house. But budget was tight and I was in a hurry to get moved away from the wife when we separated. This works.In NH we have to go down 4' to get below frost but I'd hate to give up all the space if I didn't need a basement. My water softener and radon bubbler, furnace, water heater, and electrical panel all live there and access to them is easy. So you guys take up living space with all that stuff on top of giving up storage space? How big are houses in your area? Mine would be considered on the small side at 1232 sq ft but we can use it all and the basement effectively adds another 1232.
