That was mostly devoted to my dad'd woodworking shop. There was one part of the house, though, that just had a sort of "window" through a cinder block wall, from which you could see the foundation of one room of the house, which had an apparent dirt floor. At that time (circa age 15) I was using the un-insulated attic of my parent's house as my wargaming area. It was spacious, but like an oven in summer, and bitterly cold in winter. So the plan was that I would knock down the partitioning wall, dig out the space, and then my dad would have concrete poured, and I could have that basement room for my wargames. Well, let me tell you, those cinder blocks were tough, and it took me a couple of months to batter them down with a sledge hammer! <br />Once that was completed, and I started to dig, we discovered the reason that part was unfinished. What looked like dirt was in fact an enormous rock, an rather than blast it out or similar, the builders had simple built around it. So, no basement wargames room for me in that house. A side effect was that the battered down wall now allowed water that welled up aound the lock to enter the main, dry basement. This necessitated replacing the wall that I had painstakingly battered down. My dad was not happy, LOL!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880538120094882531.post-86843080479045924642020-09-18T09:23:54.270+01:002020-09-18T09:23:54.270+01:00An enterprising solution to your problem.
