The Basement

We lowered the floor in our basement 

(Eric is 6'5"-- he needs head space).

So the stairs had to come off (and were changed).

Eric's brother Levi was the grunt worker.

The crawl space under our family room was dug out. To get the dirt out we went through our garage under the foundation-- this is the start of the dirt ramp to dig down to the crawl space.

This is the new lowered floor and the new stairs.

The walls in the newly dug crawl space getting ready for the concrete walls.

The wall to the crawl space is now poured and this is the outside wall in the garage floor.

The new cement poured in the garage floor-- we made it memorable with our handprints.  Now we get to park in our garage-- after 5 months!
