Our basement is 3/4 unfinished, with 1/4 a tiny apartment, and pretty clean since it's flooded twice in the last 1.5 years (once, with so much rain that the streets flooded and shorted out the sump pump, and once when the hot water heater broke and shot out hot water everywhere!).

Stupid basement.

I live down in a basement flat. Does that count?
It`s pretty tidy apart from where Kitty has been shredding a pom-pom in the lounge

The only horrible thing is my kitchen is under the stairs up to the main house. It was the coal store and when it was converted 2 years ago they didn`t skim the ceiling properly so the wet soaks through and the paint just flakes off everywhere.
I think it used to be the servants quarters.

My basement is clean now. We have a finished area which was a complete mess with a ton of boxes and other junk that I finally got rid of. Then we have a laundry area which isn't spotless, and I guess I shouldn't call it clean, but you can atleast walk in there without tripping on stuff now

Our workship is that, a workshop and isn't the most organized, but again, you can finally walk in it without tripping on anything

We still get alot of cobwebs in the laundry area and spiders in the finished area. I need to spray soon and hopefully keep them at bay.

My basement consists of three rooms, the laundry room with an unfinished ceiling, the furnace room, also with an unfinished ceiling and the main room. The main room is finished, with a drop ceiling. This is where I have my sewing room set up to to quilts and costumes. When Maggie gets scared, she runs into the laundry room and climbs the shelves to get into the dropped ceiling of the main room to hide. I've tried to block the entrance to the drop ceiling with cardboard, but when she's scared....nothing will deter her. I just wish there was a way to get rid of the spiders. Man, I HATE spiders....and there always seems to be spiders in my basement. I have cans of spider spray strategically placed all over the basement.

Ooops...forgot to answer if it is clean! Ummm.....sort of. I have very little closet space in the upstairs, so the basement is my storage area of little used or off season items. When I'm making a quilt...it looks like a wreck!!!

So I guess our basement is clean

Our basement is completely finished. Carpeted, fireplace and a wetbar. Just shampooed the carpet down there last weekend so yes, it is clean.

I won't let my husband put junk down there or I could never get to it to clean. His "pack-rat-man-junk" goes in the garage or the shed.

We don't have a basement here. Actually, none of the newer houses in this city do to my knowledge. Only the Very old ones in the Memphis area do and that's still not a lot. I think it would be nice to have one though- especially in the South during tornado season

So since we don't have a basement, i'll speak for our attic -it's nice and tidy- all organized

Colin actually just build a ton of new shelves and a second opening (the first ones in the hallway) in the above the garage for a second access point. He's supposed to be adding a folding ladder to it soon- we have it it's just not put up yet.

We don't have basements here in Texas...lol unless they build it on extra or outside. It's odd not having a basement in the first place.
