I see. That's nice. Less digging, less costs, less water deviation and contamination.
I remember when I was still working as a plant engineer and we were building biogas plants sometimes we had to dig meters and meters under the ground. In those case, the scenario was specific but also for houses here in Italy the basements are really big.
Seeing what you are doing, I wonder if all those basements are really necessary?
