It’s… a place. A mess, but that’s fine. I can’t find anything if I put it away.

Yes, I know the last post here was 1y ago. I’m not going to Reddit for this.

Looks like it's most of the way there for drywall, might need some furring on that back wall. You could have it done in about a week on your own. On second look, I can't tell what's going on with that back wall. Prolly ought to just build it out to flat under the beam.

You can't find those cans in the corner if you put them in the recycle bin?

That bin containing cans is indeed ready to be added to a bag. Also, we have been planning on drywalling the basement soon (for the past 25 years). It’s just around the corner, I’m sure of it!

What are those? Maize soda?

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Iced tea! I love iced tea so much. Specifically Fuze. I’m not being paid to say that, but my god I love iced tea.

Having money for Macs but not for walls shows a priority which I cannot understand.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Not so much buying the drywall as actually… putting it up.

I only see 1 in the image and it has the glowing apple logo on the back so the newest it could possibly be is 2015.. not exactly a big spend i think

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There are actually six vintage Macs in the photo. On the left is a 2015 MacBook Pro (wild to think that’s old now, the last of the glowing Apple logo Macs), and on the right is an iMac G4 (on the desk), an iMac G3 (on the floor), and a Power Mac G4, a Power Mac G5, and an iBook G4 underneath the desk.

Oh shit ur right, I'm not sure how i missed all of those xD

If you have walls, it's "finished" space and may be taxed higher.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Here, it’s only the ceiling that matters.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Huh, I didn't know that. Is that a US thing?

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

This is in Canada, but it might be the similar idea. Most houses, when built, do not have finished basements. I’m not certain as to why that is, but that was the case with this house.

[–] Level9831@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Taxed higher as it raises the overall value of your home.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The image description say it’s unfinished. Seems finished enough for me.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

You know what? True enough. As long as it’s cozy, it’s good to go!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I feel personally attacked

[–] siravious@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hell, yes. Nice vintage apple gear too.

[–] richie_golds@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

The stuff that makes me happy. Not shown are approximately 60 other random old computers.

[–] xia@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You call THAT a mess?

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Agreed. I came here to comment on that, "at least it's not messy" and saw OP mention it being a mess. Welp.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Nice Mac collection.
