All About Pocket Knives

VERY COOL !!!!!

Thanks for the comments!!! Thought I would post the pictures of the rest of the room. A little messy and still hanging pictures and whatnot. I pretty much spend my weekend nights down there listening to records, drinking bourbon, and looking at knives I have seen a million times. I love the feel of it.

Well guys, I hate to be posting this but I think my dream room in the basement is done for. As mentioned before this is my grandmothers old house. She is in an apartment now and I pay rent to her. I have been here just shy of 3 years and this is the year I decided to clean out and re-do the basement. I remember back a few years ago she had gotten some water down there. For some reason I thought I was exempt. With all the rain we have had, I woke up at 3am today and decided to check on it. Water everywhere. The drain is in the other side and for some reason it plateaus off in between rooms. I have been pushing water for hours. It is ground water coming through bad foundation. Luckily, it will only get about 2" deep before running off into the other room. However, my carpets-soaked, bottoms of my displays-soaked, my patience-gone. I am 34, self employed, single, and there just isn't gonna be the extra money to put into having the basement sealed. So as I push this water with this giant squeegee for the next day or so, I will be planning whats next. A move upstairs obviously. I will try not to let you guys down with the new room. Wish me luck.

What bad news! Hang in there and good luck. Keep us posted on your situation.

Oh no. I don't suppose you have renter's insurance? They probl'y don't cover flooding anyway. Really sorry man!

I wish you the best.

How'd you ever make out with this victoryanthems?

Hey guys, been a while since I have posted. I pop in occasionally but my business has been running me ragged. I re-did my dining room to be able to get the stuff upstairs and I am just now finishing it up. Not as much room as I had but it'll do. Enjoy.

Now that ain't bad sir, Nice job!
