I like the smell and atmosphere of the basements of pre-war houses such as those of my aunt and uncles , grandparents or family friends : old leather , paper from old books /magazines , old photos and picures, canned preserves , toys and games from yesteryear , a treasure trove of out-of-date items - rather like a museum of sorts . :cool: Modern basements are often just a relaxing extension of the house or sterile storage .

Interestingly , as our climates are not all that different , houses in the mid-west of Canada rarely have or use an attic space - usually just insulation up there .

I imagine both Greece and Britain being far more damp and the basements smelling rather dank , for sure . Northern N.America being drier doesn't smell quite as strongly below ground , but I imagine basements on both coasts do .
