Basements are located under the main floor of a house and can offer additional space to a house.  Such as space for storage, for a laundry room, a furnace area with a hot water heater, or for the central a/c unit.  Some basements have an outside entrance as well as stairs to the main floor. Some may be finished, others may have dirt floors, with low ceilings, making them not really suitable as a living space.Bedrooms and bathrooms can also be located in a basement.  There are even some old houses in Delaware County, that have functioning toilets out in the open, near the laundry area, with no doors for privacy.But not all houses have basements.  I did not know that, when I was young.  I grew up in an old, three story, row home with a full basement.  All of my friends’ houses had basemen... 09/03/2022
