Note the first floor trusses that double as ceiling framing for the basement. Be sure that the basement walls are at least ten feet high. This allows space for heat and air ducts. A suspended ceiling eight feet in height is then possible.

This is a picture of the rear elevation of the home. Note the slope of the lot which allowed for the basement.

 The front of the home shows the pre-manufactured basement walls, manufacturer by Superior Walls. The walls were built in their factory and delivered by tractor trailer to our building site. Superior Walls furnished the erection crew.

Construction time of the walls was only one day. The walls are water-proof. The window and door openings are already cut. The walls are insulated, guaranteeing an economical, waterproof wall that is superior to a concrete block foundation.
