 		 #113285 - Basements
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Grant Beattie said:
Also, in CA there are no basements, so people cram their garages full of the junk that most people put in their basements.

Basements seem to be another peculiarly US thing. In the UK the vast majority of houses don't have them - just a few very old ones have cellars.
