Do you have a cellar?

[RCMerchant]

Or basement where you live?

[LilCerberus]

nope

[ER]

Yes, sir. Too many blinkity-blank tornadoes around here not to have one.

[BoyScoutKevin]

No, for me as well. I don't think I have lived in a place that had a basement, since I was a pre-teen. And I put that down to the fact, that most of my life, I have lived in the South or the Southwest, and basements seem to be more of a Northern thing than a Southern thing.

If by "cellar" you mean a damp, creepy, cold hole in the ground underneath the house that I avoid going into as much as possible, then yes.

[indianasmith]

Nope, our house sits up on bois d'arc blocks about two feet off the ground. You can go outside and crawl right under it!

[The Burgomaster]

Yes. I've had one everywhere I've lived (except apartments).

* From birth until 2 years old: 3 family home. I lived on the top floor with my mother, father and grandfather. My aunt, uncle and cousins lived on the 2nd floor. Another aunt, uncle and cousins lived on the 1st floor. The basement was used mostly for storage.

* From 2 - 8 years old: Single family home with my parents and sisters. The basement was used mostly for storage.

* From 8 - 30 (ish) years old. A different single family home with my parents and sisters. The basement was used mostly for storage when I lived there, but now it's an in-law apartment and my sister and her husband live there. My parents still live upstairs.

* Lived in apartments during the next several years.

* From about 38 - 41 years old: First house with my wife. About 70% of the basement was finished (carpeted, with a TV, a bar, and two pub tables). The other 30% was for storage and laundry.

* From about 41 - 54 years old: Current house with my wife. The basement is used mostly for storage, but I have some exercise equipment down there, too.

Yes even if it's called a basement.

[Leah]

Lol basement. We call that swamp water where I am. Instead we have attics.

[Allhallowsday]

Yes.  Mine is finished and my office has been down here since year 2000.   So, Menard would have called me a "basement dweller".

Wouldn't "cellar dweller" have been more alliterate with bonus points for referencing a bad movie? (See, I'm not totally dumb when it comes to movies, just ignorant.)

Sure, but I think Menard used to say "basement dweller".  I don't know no CELLAR DWELLER movie.

(Actually my friend Rob loved that movie, it was his level, and he had it on VHS and it seemed like it was always on when I was at his house, circa 1996. That's he only way I knew of it.)

[indianasmith]

I remember that movie!  The title was cooler than the film.
