Footers are 40 inches deep.  With that you can probably park that cement mixer in there and not worry about any damage.

Todd My home Is as old as these United States of America it was built in 1700s and is very small , I am guessing that's all they needed back then
it was only 900 sq feet . it also is only 3  small bedroom witch we used for other things.
we wonted the rooms open to uses them as bed rooms again  to have a place for friend coming into Philly to stay .

So if anyone fnf wont's to come see the sights of Philly and your in to history,or just passing though and need to spend as night you  have a free place to vacation  or just rest up


i will make room for critters as i get them the new master bed room has some empty wall
