House built in 1922 with less than 6 ft ceilings. Dug out 100,000 lbs of material and hauled it off in buckets. Took me about 3 months. Now we have 8ft ceilings. Foundation work handled by professional with proper permits.

    I did get a couple quotes. One was 20k the other somewhere around 30k. I knew going in we didn’t have the funds for foundation work plus excavation. I ended up spending 2500 for a dumpster drop off/pick up. This was a weekly event.
