Choosing the Location to Build a Basement in your Home

This is Ben Ingham with Expert Village talking about a walkout basement. As I was scouting the land, trying to find a place to where to build this. I was looking for land that sloped naturally this way and hopefully even had a drop off where the back of the basement would be for the walkout part of it. And this particular site on the property was very well suited to it because of the natural slope of the land was coming down towards the creek and then, right about the edge of where the walkout is, it dropped off pretty drastically. So, it made it easier, once I got the backhoe in here, to dig it all out and to haul the dirt out to various locations on the place so that I could get a place approximately ten feet deep because I had to pour a slab and then do up a concrete wall.
