    Default Hidden room

    What do you think they had in mind for this room.
    I'm not sure if they wanted a safe room or somewhere to hide or a room to pump water when the water table was high.

    Any suggestions?

    Jerry,

    Nice work. Think I could hide a few pallets of stuff in there?

    Could be used as a time out room for misbehaving children.

    The opening is probably the minimum requirement for access or ventilation.

    Question Re: Hidden room

    James,

    With the limited info, and what seems to be 'wood framing' or foundation sill plate visible through that window opening for the 'room', maybe this was meant to be a cavity for future installation of a 'walk-out type' bulkhead?
