We don't find many basements in CA. Maybe we just don't understand how to build them. . .

Hey Jeff; LOL:

If 30" is what you call a basement, eight feet would blow your mind.

ha. ha.

30 inches was the access to the stairs (if you could call them "stairs").

Geeze,

They give a Californian a basement and they can't even figure out how to properly support a building.

I'll take a basement over a nasty crawlspace anyday. It is very nice to be able to walk around and have a good look at floor structure and mechanical systems. No banging of head etc. although some I have been into are just as nasty as some crawl spaces. Crawls around here are usually equipped with concrete floors so no snakes and such.

I'll second that motion. ha. ha.
