I recently decided to get a fresh start in my 460 and go with all Alternative Reef ceramics so I may as well start at the beginning with pics as well.
Step 1: tear off the back of your house.
Step 2: dig a very big hole! The new basement was excavated 18" deeper than the old as you can see in the picture. I had to underpin the entire length of my home before taking out the block walls.
Step 3: Yayyy, rain!!! It barely stopped raining long enough to pour my footings and walls. Seeing these pics again bring back some painfull memories.
Step 4: bring in 15 yards of dry fill and compact.
Step 5: build the addition of my dreams complete with my own fishroom with tiled floors, countertop and sink
