Al Capone's Vault

I'm kind of irritated with myself that I didn't see these photos before I posted the first Basement post.  I have a feeling that may happen with many of my posts so I'm so relieved I stuck the disclaimer in the begining of my blog stating that these won't be in order or very organized. I should probably add to it that this blog will be severely random, go off on tangents and sometimes make me seem like I am losing it.  Well I guess I'm going to prove it more than I thought!

Look what I found!

So this is what we had to start with.  When we moved into our house, this little square hole had already been done.  Grandma actually would climb in and out of here to store her canned goods.  Crazy Grandma.

It also had killer acoustics.  When it was completely empty, I would go in there and sing and Celine Dion had nothin' on me.  But Husband wouldn't let me keep my little Sun Records Studio for some reason so I'll have to save that dream for another day.  

Doesn't this look like fun?  Super hubby is using a a jackhammer that we rented from the hardware store.  This is after we tried using the diamond blade saw with the broken water fitting for the hose.  This photo reminds me of Al Capone's Vault.  Geraldo is hiding just around the corner... See his shadow?  You can totally tell it's him by the huge head.

Done.  Boom.

We plan on putting a door on this so it doesn't look so creepy.  We're thinking a barn-doorish door on a track system..... Whatdya think?

Peek-a-boo!  You're not that sneaky, honey... ;)
