Looking at doing approximately 800-1000 sqft addition/renovation.
I currently have a horribly done addition over crawlspace. The plan is to rip off the back addition, and
build a nice 2 story addition on the same footprint. As far as I can tell current foundation is in good shape. However a nice 8 foot basement feels like might be something that I would use. Currently we have a basement but it is old and low and only so useful.
1. Basement - undoubtedly better materials, ton of extra space, and can make any size I want. Easy to run mechanicals, certainly it will last forever.
2. Crawl - locked into footprint. saves approximately $15,000 (estimated)
Is voting for existing crawl being mustachian or am I going to regret it?
