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

kids i wish,,, :pout:

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 :eyebrow: :biggrin:
