Dug out my basement

Reply in thread

It originally had a shelf foundation which took up a large amount of space as the shelf comes inward and eats useable space. The shelf was removed and we did foundation underpinning.

The windows are now two ft higher. It hasn’t been something we are bothered by.

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.
