Default Crawlspace images

Took these photographs yesterday, 1920's construction. I'm sure we all see things like this but I thought I would share a few images. I don't think there was one level floor in the home.

Did it have an entrance like this



or block piers such as these.



Or old wooden support posts that have rotted away.



Here's a closer view of the bottom of the post!



Just a normal old house crawl space around here!
