You know, we have that too. Still, I don't want to miss this space:
And that just doesn't work with a binder roof.
I can't relate to either - attic or basement.
Storage is a necessary evil for me. There are things you store, like Christmas decorations, suitcases, extra dishes, or old junk. That you have to accept cold, darkness, or a steep staircase for that... okay, but it's not for me. A small storage room, a utility room on the floor, or a built-in closet offers more comfort.
For me, unused rooms are also nothing. The fitness basement is cooled down, the party room full of cobwebs. Before I can use such rooms, I have to take action. That's no longer for me [emoji23]
