Adding a New Basement for the New Addition (Apr-May)

Once the crawl space area had been dug out and underpinned, the new exansion work could begin. The first step here was to add a new basement on the back of the house as part of the new addition. The house was expanded out by just over 13'. This new basement will also have a new entryway with stairs from the outside and on the other side an egress window in case the space is ever used as a bedroom or and apartment. When this new basement space is added to the new space from the crawlspace digout, along with the original old basement, we now have quite a large basement space. It will all be insulated with new walls and floors will be added in most locations. There is also a new bathroom in the space along with stairs and elevator, along with a mechanical room for the elevator and a mechanical room for the plumbing and electricity.
