My house is on a small crawl, I have contact some builders to convert it to a basement. Does anyone out there know what this may cost? I would like to hear any advice out there. THanks!

To put a basement under an existing house is an expensive proposition. Even a small basement in an area of the country where building costs are cheapest might easily start in the $20,000 range. If that is over your budget, there is no need to go further at this time. If it is a possibility, you need to solicit estimates from reputable contractors in your area. Keep in mind that most contractors will offer free estimates. In the end, if you choose to have the work done, check the contractors references carefully, make sure everything is spelled out in detail in the contract, and make sure the contractor carries liability and worker's compensation insurance.
Good luck with your basement project.

I think you can get a shovel for 15 bucks and some jacks for 29.99 but you'll probably want four so multiplty that by four know what I'm saying? plus yo lazy cracka butt is gonna want a pnuematic jack so it might be more.
