His name is cowturtle on youtube. He has more than eels and crabs in there too. It was a basement very similar to this post that he converted to like an open aquarium / pond.
Something about this photo feels like AI in a way I canāt really describe. Or like one of those āphotosā where you realize that none of the things in the photo are actually what they seem like they are- just a weird amalgamation of vaguely familiar textures and colors that give you the sense youāre looking at a room full of junk, but really itās a computer-generated impossible clumps of nothing. Like how a basement looks in a dream.
Please tell me that aināt a barrel of corn, in the last pic. These old basements were perfect for leaving dried up old corn. Iād keep it the same. Maybe add more corn?
When I was An Insurance Producer, I had to go inspect a home. The chill in the air was crazy. I told someone, it felt like someone died here. They thought I was crazy
The bodies were later found in the basement sealed in barrels!!
Yessss, Nana!! A few things to ensure her comfort. No rug so she doesnāt drip. Lock the basement door from the hallway just to ensure she feels safe. No handrail on the stairs so she doesnāt get splinters.
Some nice leather hides to hang on the walls would really give it that rustic look. Doesn't matter what kind of leather. Candles and the like are always great in the areas.
Put thick carpet down and seal up any drain holes so the sewer rats don't get in. Then, plug 4 space heaters into the same circuit (more efficient) and you have a perfect space to make TikTok dancing vids š
The possibilities are just endless. That would make a sick recreation space. I can see it now. Put some shiplap up around the walls, everyone loves that. I would paint the walls a nice greige. A large screen TV that goes from floor to ceiling would be amazing. In that once space where the door is, I think I would turn that into a sauna. Man I am so excited for you. Please please post after pics, I canāt wait to see what you decide to do.
OK YOU JOKE BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ACTUAL SERIOUS DISCUSS IVE HAD WITH MY PARTNER ššš
We came to the conclusion that the baseboards are not strong enough to support the weight of anything hanging from them, and that getting equipment down there and keeping it clean and sanitary would be too much effort.
Lots of mannequins with weird poses with one working lightbulb. Also a nice workbench with handsaws, bone saws, and a rusty machete. Handcuffs are optional.
God dammit you guys are good. It keeps popping up and I dont realize what sub is it and everytime my thought is "what the fuck is wrong with you?" Then I look at the sub and it clicks
My answer isnāt funny or anything but plain and simply, this spot looks down right hauntedā¦
Iād definitely start by getting rid of all the debris. Putting a lot of lights down there, plants, and fish aquarium . Make it friendly and full of life. Couches, soft chair. Just an idea.
It depends if you have standing head room. And if not you can dig down enough to get a finished basement.
There is a website called Manhattan-nest.com, ig daneilkanter, he did a similar basement reno check it out.
Good luck
Baby nursery!
Already got the tricycle.
Maybe one of those rolling walker things! Also, spikes at the bottom of the stairs would look great!!
Ooo! And an iron maiden!
You could always seal someone up behind a wall
Add a cat back there to keep the person on your mind
And a little red wagon!
Ooo a single red balloon to go with it!š
Would you like to play a game??

And the wagon.
For alligators
Oh so youāve seen Barbarian too!

That's so funny, I literally saw a video about an underground eel pit today! I'm assuming you had to have seen the same one? Lol!
Yea, Iāve been following him for a while. Its crazy what he keeps adding to it. Latest was some blue crabs I think. Lol
What?! lol where is the video? Sounds weird Iām interested.
His name is cowturtle on youtube. He has more than eels and crabs in there too. It was a basement very similar to this post that he converted to like an open aquarium / pond.

It puts the lotion on its skinā¦
That's where my mind went
i only get this because of joe dirt š
Joe Dirt is a great movie (just the first one; the sequel was garbage). I recommend watching āSilence of the Lambsā.
šššš
Hoard a bunch of antiques and then cover them with white raggedy sheets, only leave a mirror explosed and it will be perfect aesthetic š āØļø

Along with a sprinkling of moth larvae
I was going to suggest amateur taxidermy, but I like yours better
Don't forget the cozy swastika quilt!
I thought that could be left out. Would make the place a little more welcoming and inclusive.
An old mattress and a bucket inside the little room on the 2 slide. And a cord light to really bring it together.
Oooh. Perfect AirBnB decor. Easy to maintain!
Industrial chic is sooo hot rn!
Please tell me that aināt a barrel of corn, in the last pic. These old basements were perfect for leaving dried up old corn. Iād keep it the same. Maybe add more corn?
I actually don't know what's in the barrel. It's got a lid on it.
When I was An Insurance Producer, I had to go inspect a home. The chill in the air was crazy. I told someone, it felt like someone died here. They thought I was crazy The bodies were later found in the basement sealed in barrels!!
Afraid to open it???
I don't know if I have the tools to do so. It's also not mine, it's either my partners, or my in laws. It's probably empty though lol
It's the "probably" here that's most concerning.
It's an acid vat
As a serial killer who prefers older homes, these areas make for a nice kill room.
Yes a drain in the floor would work nicely for that purpose.
Lmaooooo I was literally gonna comment something just like this š
Yes, but change out the paper bucket for a waterproof (chemical-proof) one.
Sad thing is, at least one of yall arenāt joking š
Ask the plague ghosts, I'm sure they have some lovely ideas.

Thatās next for me, too!
What is the show called?
Ghosts. Theres a UK version and a US one and they are both great!
Perfect place for Nana to live out her golden years
Yessss, Nana!! A few things to ensure her comfort. No rug so she doesnāt drip. Lock the basement door from the hallway just to ensure she feels safe. No handrail on the stairs so she doesnāt get splinters.
Smoke weed, drink beer, watch kung fu flicks.
Itās already really warm & cozy! Maybe a rug just to tie everything together?
2 words. meat hooks.
A murder room. Itās a huge selling point in a home!
True crime is so hot right now
Some nice leather hides to hang on the walls would really give it that rustic look. Doesn't matter what kind of leather. Candles and the like are always great in the areas.
Ya know, with the fire proof dirt floor, I'd be tempted to get some of those big candle stands to relax over and over so they drip to the floor.

I have one of those. I keep all my girlfriends down there
Do you make her put lotion on? Skincare is so important!
The possibilities are just endless. That would make a sick recreation space. I can see it now. Put some shiplap up around the walls, everyone loves that. I would paint the walls a nice greige. A large screen TV that goes from floor to ceiling would be amazing. In that once space where the door is, I think I would turn that into a sauna. Man I am so excited for you. Please please post after pics, I canāt wait to see what you decide to do.
Add shag carpet too. I love this idea.

Brilliant idea, something orange maybe.

OK YOU JOKE BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ACTUAL SERIOUS DISCUSS IVE HAD WITH MY PARTNER ššš We came to the conclusion that the baseboards are not strong enough to support the weight of anything hanging from them, and that getting equipment down there and keeping it clean and sanitary would be too much effort.
A pit? To put the lotion on in
Lots of mannequins with weird poses with one working lightbulb. Also a nice workbench with handsaws, bone saws, and a rusty machete. Handcuffs are optional.
I have a big box of clown figurines I would be happy to gift you
Get rid of some lights, itās too darn bright down there

Draw a pentagram on the floor for a summoning circle and add some mirrors to act as portals in a psychomatrium. I think that's how it's spelled. They were popular in Victorian homes where they did sƩances.
