[quote=Anonymous]Another option instead of digging out is to raise the house to get a higher basement ceiling. Several of my neighbors have done that -- interesting to watch since they basically cut the house off the foundation, put some beams across the whole bottom, crank the whole thing up, and the fill in the foundation bricks to the new height. Ends up with larger windows in the basement, making it a more attractive living area. Only downside could be that you end up with pretty long stairs up to the porch. Still, if you have the space and money, I'd take the sunroom/2nd floor bedroom expansion. Esp. if you only have 2 bedrooms up or 3 very small bedrooms I'd think adding/expanding bedrooms would have better resale than adding a bedroom/living space in the basement. Many people want all the bedrooms upstairs.[/quote]
