The problems with it became "many"... but we continued on.
The excavation bid --- and the concrete bid.... are just astronomical. I could buy FOUR complete tractor trailer rigs like mine and leave them in various locations -- and have them stocked with 2 cars each --- and I'd still be saving money.
I have them drawing up a 2000 square foot two story shop ( have to have a man cave area) where we don't need to move nearly as much heaven and earth ---- and it's not under the house -- so the walls etc don't have to carry that whole load.
We don't always get what we want.... :>)
