Revealed here for the first time is an illustration of the Trickhart's finished basement.
As you can see, the British phone booth has been removed to make room for the ventilation crank. The room comfortably seats three - but they need to remain seated. Standing or lying down will negatively impact the maximum occupancy of the room. Clearly they won't be playing Bridge down there.
This is what happens when your general contractor was a General in the Defense Department's Office of Civil Defense during the 1950's.
Simple "Pirate" Math:
$65,000 - Cost of building basement
Minus
$15.00 - Cost of a comparatively sized cardboard box with air holes
Equals
$64,985 - Overcharge
Divided By
$8.50 - Average cost of mixed drink
Equals
7,645 - Unfunded Cuba Libres (Rum & Coke with a lime)
This is a very sad day for pirates!
