Re: Adding a basement to a house with a crawl space

Text of the message:
These are all the concernes I had.  I was hoping for a "unique"way to do
this that didnt require a house mover.  I did this to my current house
twenty years ago..  I was thinking that I could possibly build and eliptical
concrete block wall inside of the existing rectangular foundation and only
digging down inside the elipse carefully ensuring I never dug any closer
than 5 feet to the existing foundation.  Should work fine if I do it in
sections.  Will take ages though.  Damn time vs money issue always sucks.
Subsoil is hard clay BTW  and water table is more than 20 feet down during
the rainy season.
