[QUOTE="RichCsigs, post: 3088793, member: 19690"] Here's the story. My mother, my brother and his two kids all live together in the same house. I used to have a room in the basement (not really a "room" as I slept down there on a couch and didn't have any kind of wall dividing my "room" and the rest of the basement). It was horrible and I hated every second of it. My mom has now gotten to a condition where, while she can be left alone for parts of the day, she shouldn't be left alone for more than 10 hours (she has diabetes 2 and isn't very stalwart about checking her levels, so sometimes she gets really bad). Since my brother typically works 8am-8pm and his kids (both teens, 1 special needs) go to their mothers every other night and every weekend, he wants me to come back (since I just work 11am-7pm). I don't mind doing it, but the thought of being in the unfurnished basement again was seriously depressing me. So I said I would do it if either (a) I got a room upstairs or (b) I got the whole basement and it was converted into an actual apartment for me (toilet, kitchen sink, better lighting, walls, etc.). The house is on a septic system (with well water if that factors into anything). The main line leaves the house through a wall. D'oh! I hadn't even thought of that! Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Hmmmmm.... this is sounding pricier & pricier as it goes. I don't know what's considered a "full height" basement, but I'd estimate the height to be 6' - 6.5'. Sounds like more money to me. *sigh* Well, we were 5 people living in a 3 bedroom for 10 years with no problem. But I suppose if I make that argument to the city it'll just be more trouble. [/QUOTE]
