Inadvertly Added an Indoor Pool
6/6/2005 – 10:18 am
On Friday night one of my pipes decided that the pressure was just too great and it couldn’t go on. It gave up all hope of holding water and cracked, spewing gallon upon gallon of water throughout my basement.
Fortunately we were notified somewhat quickly about the disaster. Stacey and I were on the scene quickly with wet-dry vacs, dehumidifiers, fans, and a trash can to hold all the sloppy water. This shot shows just a few of the massive “air movers” that the Service Master disaster recovery experts put in place to help dry out the basement.
The irony is that the plumber was scheduled to replace all the pipes last Sunday, but had to reschedule. Not good.

I bet with having an indoor pool, he can definatly rock the market value. Am I right on this, or does indoor vs outdoor not change anything?
Seriously, I do know someone that put a large hottub in their Countryside Townhouse. It was 8ftx8ft or something to that effect. Was closed in with tiles even though the tub was enclosed to start with. It seated 4 comfortably, and maybe 7 total. Ryan, that was Jeff. He has a HUGE bathroom.
A third of his basement is a bathroom with a standup shower, 3 or so shower jets, double sink vanity, hottub and so forth. Really nice. The rest of the “master suite” is wood floors with a built in salt water tank in one of the utility walls. I was living there when he was putting it all in. It was done right around the time I left. Looked pretty “suite”. ;)

What about swamp coolers?
Doesn’t anyone use those anymore?
