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.

Last time the Great Work was interrupted by stupid inspectors and code enforcers and such. That can’t happen again. The Great Work must be completed.
