Basement
This was actually one of our bigger jobs here.
The white stuff is quick-lime to absorb the raw sewerage that spilled into the basement, and probably was a major reason to sell us the place.
My plan from early on was to make this a workroom or apartment.
My wife and I slept in a 1970s trailer parked in the side yard, while the work was done.
We dug the basement another 3' deeper and set in reinforced walls and cement floor with drain. I did very little digging myself. |
