Painting your basement those colors reduced the value of your house. You could have created a man space and done it tastefully so that it helps the resale value of the house.

It's such a shame that paint lasts forever. Oh wait, it doesn't.

You do realize that the basement can be repainted before selling the house?

Don't be stupid, when you sell your house you typically have it repainted before or afterwards anyway. It's probably the most common maintenance when selling a home.

Ya, because he can't possibly repaint if he wants to sell it. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Edit> I guess about 10 other people said the same thing already, heh.

Nice job OP. Wish we had basements in Florida.

Wow. Besides the fact that you are wrong (repainting is easy and most people re-paint some rooms anyway) I see no reason for the jerk post.

Have to tell you, thats straight up awesome and well done right there.

I've seen some downright gaudy "mancaves" in the past, but you did just enough to give it the overall Bears theme and feel without going overboard. VERY well done, and probably one of the better ones I've seen.

Its because omlete is a dick troll. Not exactly news. Ignoring him works. Telling him he's got one foot in the grave is even funnier, but otherwise, just ignore.
