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.

What, no basement? Seriously though, I’m still patting myself on the back for digging out 50 buckets from the crawlspace under my house. Hats off to you!
