The excavator finished digging for the foundation. The builder is setting up the forms on Monday (April 26th). We decided to go with the poured foundation versus blocks. 10' basement ceiling meant over 14 courses of blocks and extra bracing, costing same as pouring concrete.
It will be a huge basement, I love it!
We're putting in a 60" double hung door at the bottom of the stairs from the garage to the basement. The picture below shows what the basement will look like viewed from that door.
I am from out West and not used to this shale rock found around here. The foundation will be really solid sitting on all this rock.
