What a bonding experience lol. Very cool. That’s a lot work going from a crawl space to a basement.

I haven’t taken a better pic of the basement with floor poured. But you get the idea.

After World War II a lot of the soldier came back looking for work and many of them dug out the crawl spaces in our area plus added the shelf foundation. This is according to my father in law. I trust him but I haven’t looked into it further to confirm.

Yes. I’ll post them once I have a minute to find them.

I did wear a mask most of the time. But beyond that I didn’t give it much thought. I probably should have.

I had a family memeber that wanted me to do something similar. I ended up just getting started with the bucket thing and got into a groove. There are definitely smarter ways to do this.

I did get a couple quotes. One was 20k the other somewhere around 30k. I knew going in we didn’t have the funds for foundation work plus excavation. I ended up spending 2500 for a dumpster drop off/pick up. This was a weekly event.

House built in 1922 with less than 6 ft ceilings. Dug out 100,000 lbs of material and hauled it off in buckets. Took me about 3 months. Now we have 8ft ceilings. Foundation work handled by professional with proper permits.
