kriadydragon | Basements + Cheap Houses = Not good :(

So the house my sister in law found for us is out, as is two other houses we looked at, and all because of their basements (well, there were other problems with one of the houses, but the basement was what broke the deal). Upstairs, everything was fine and dandy, but the basements... cracking, leaking, making us question the integrity of the house as a whole. The reason we wanted a basement was to store some of our stuff. Plus, we live in Kansas and it would have been nice to go somewhere during tornados that didn't give us the creeps and make us fret about being buried alive in a teeny-tiny space :S.

So houses with basements are out. We're just going to have to rely on a garage to store our stuff.
