The old foundation gets modified for the new basement. New footings must be poured under the existing foundation and prep work begins to tie the old foundation to the new. Jenn Nawada meets with the landscape designer to discuss plans for the front of the house. On the first floor, Charlie and Tom Silva install a recessed beam in order to remove some of the wall that abuts the front staircase.

Question: How is it that the other 4ft slabs didn't just slide down like the one near the relief cut?

seeing that lack of a foundation footer makes me nervous for my own cheapo house, no doubt it's the same way 😆

Hello. I live in an old house. I am getting stinky smells in the living room and near the attic access. The living room is over the access to the crawl space. The fire department read hydrogen sulfide. Sometimes the toilet gets stopped, mainly in the mornings. Do you know what my problem could be?

@jomangeee9180 4 ай бұрын

To the experts out there, which is cheaper a renovation this size or a rebuild?

No footing, time to pull the building permit and ID the building inspector and sue, assuming he's still alive

@NaturesCandy 3 ай бұрын

Youre assuming a permit was pulled for that, and if the wall was wide enough for say a single storey, it wouldnt necessarily need a footing with a wider base than the wall.

Seems to me that there's so little of this house that doesn't have to be replaced, that it would make more sense to save the few pieces that are salvageable, keep notes of which pieces those are, then tear the entire thing down, re-build the entire foundation with the new mods in place, then build the house back up from scratch, according to the modified floor plans, and put the salvaged pieces back in their proper places. Would make sooo much more sense!

@gradywray5391 4 ай бұрын

I lot of times it just comes down to permits. Takes a lot more time and costs a lot of money to get permits, engineering, etc for a new build than to do a remodel.

@XX-166 4 ай бұрын

You save money on a project wherever you can and the owners also have a nostalgic avenue they’re pursuing

@BradThePitts 4 ай бұрын

In many states, the re-assemment of property taxes after a remodel is partially based on what percentage of the original floor plan is kept. A complete tear down and rebuild is not always the least expensive option long-term.

@markmeier3987 4 ай бұрын

If they did that, then the show wouldn't be called "This Old House"

@nevinkinzel 4 ай бұрын

As old as the house is, they may be prevented by a historic designation.

@ISpitHotFiyaa 4 ай бұрын

I don't understand why people totally gut houses like this. Just tear it down and build exactly what you want. Or build exactly what you want on empty lot. Then everything is built to modern codes and you're not dealing with some screwed up foundation from decades ago.
