When you’re getting the quotes for the work, I’d make sure to include putting in a shop sink. Will make cleaning, watering etc so much easier.

I would recommend a double sided sink so that you can clean tubs in one and place others in the other side.

@lumpy @randall_turner_jr I already have a double sided shop sink in my basement. I need to clean and fix it up a bit but it’s in pretty good condition.

That is a good deal. I wish I could have one, maybe one day.

@ashleyraeanne Wasn’t there a herper recently who’s house had a fire unrelated to the animals… but they lost quite a few animals in the basement from the flood the fire response created?
Flooding would be my only real concern with a finished spot in the basement. My old NY basement flooded a couple inches once or twice that I remembered as a kid, so thankfully nothing terrible. Sounds like @garciademueller is in a fairly safe from flooding area… Just don’t go cheap on insulating it and be careful with the radiator if anything. Unfinished NY basements can get really cold as well. XD;

We looked into it, it would cost too much. So for us no its not worth it. If we lived in a warmer climate it may be but not in Washington
