Default Why I have an unfinished basement...

I live in a neighborhood of 3 / 4 car garages......& finished basements. Problem is....in this age group people have accumulated so much bullshit over their lives that MANY can't put their cars in their garages. Instead of putting their stuff in an unfinished basement....their garages are used to store their STUFF. Well, just what I always knew was going to happen.....happened yesterday........PING PONG BALL SIZE HAIL . Even though they were predicting hail for Sunday between noon and 4 pm for at least 3 days in advance......at least half the cars in this neighborhood are dented.

Well the heading kind of tells the story!! Chris' garage was obviously empty so his cars were safe.

My cars were in my garage. The weather service had been broadcasting for several days in advance that we were going to get baseball size hail on that day at that time.......amazing accuracy. Turned out to only be ping pong ***** not baseballs. Really sick to see neighbors 2014 A4 & 2014 Explorer .....dimpled.

somehow, 3/4 car garages and finished basements I think they can afford it.... I would love to have a 4 car garage with 10' ceilings...and my basement isn't finished either....but my xf's are in the garage...

There was so much advance notice that you would have thought that (since their 3 car garage was full of other stuff) that my next door neighbor would have at least moved some of the 5 cars in his driveway to one of the giant shopping center covered concrete parking garages just 3 miles away........

I bet when they say it will hail again he will listen. When we get a hurricane warning everyone starts boarding up, no questions.

I wish I had at least a 3 car garage. The Crossfire is always stored in the garage. We have had two very nasty hail storms over the past three years with two new roofs in that same time frame.
