PROBLEM:
The biggest challenge for this project would be that there was no rear exit to the back yard
SOLUTIONS
Had to execute a 6 x 20 x 12 deep area in backyard and cut into brick and block to be able to make a breezeway and walk-up stairs, landing and back door with ½ glass to make access to basement and more lighting
Had to bust through lots of concrete to accommodate kitchen sink, bathroom, pit and ejector pump and sub pump
Relocated hot water heater and HVAC to open up adequate space which had taken much of the center space in the basement
