theres not a lot of basements out here due to the fact the ground is made of whats called caliche.. under the top 6-8 inches of surface dirt, is a layer of caliche that is essentially fossilized clay that is as hard as rock. it can be dug thru, but it is a much more expensive cost to do so, than it would be to just add a second story to your home.

PS-changed avator.. felt like a change
