[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finding crickets in the basement when guests come over is embarrassing. Usually the cats get them but sometimes they miss one. Also, it is embarrassing when we clean the cat boxes before having guests and then the cats take a dump right before the guests come (they always manage this, somehow) so it smells for the first 20 mins of the visit.

Other than that, not really. I suppose I should be embarrassed by the fact that anyone taller than 5'10" (which includes my DH) has to duck when walking through part of the basement to get to the second bathroom, laundry, and storage. But really we are so happy to have finally finished that area -- in a fairly ingenious fashion given the space constraints -- that I really do not care. Ditto for our crappy Ikea furniture. It is functional and comfortable and I don't throw out functional things. When it dies, we will get new furniture. Until then, I would rather use my money wisely than spend it just so my friends don't wonder why we don't have a nicer house.[/quote]

Why are your guests spending so much time in your basement? We also have crickets and litter boxes in our basement, but I don't bring guests down there, so it isn't an issue. [/quote]

The basement is small but finished and that's where the TV is. So if people want to watch TV (or use the second bathroom, or do laundry), that's where they go.[/quote]
