The Story of the Fenway Basement
August 9, 2007
Last year we had about 12 days of pouring rain. My finished basement took in about an inch of water. This destroyed the carpet, and some other small stuff. Under all the wet carpet was nasty yellow brown tile. Then as brothers do we were sitting in that mess having a cold soda, and he said you could totally have a mini replica of Fenway up here. It's all here the monster could go there, right field over there etc. This would be a sweet place to catch the games.
The plan went into motion; I begged my friend (the art teacher) to paint the walls. I was getting married at the time and had ohhh about 500 bucks to Home Depot some of the money went to the paint, stickers, and fuel for this job. She began in June and finished in Oct. The rest is basement history. I have to take more pics. There are so many other things I have to show... Pesky's pole is one of the best. If you visit the basement you have to sign it. The floor is a baseball diamond. Covering the before mentioned nasty tile. It's all pretty to scale including the triangle that actually leads to the stairs, the right field bullpen, and the fans sitting in the monster seats. And of course that black thing in the corner...all I have to say is the tap handle is a Red Sox one! I will attempt to put more pics up in the gallery so I can show off this stuff.
