FYI: I don’t show you how to install the door. That’s a simple process with some 2×4 pressure treated lumber screwed directly into the concrete opening. The pre-hung entry door is then screwed into the pressure treated lumber.

Quick question. I hope you see this, but did you need to get ahold of your city for a permit for this?
Do you live in cold climate area? Planning to build a similar entry to our basement and am wondering if there is a concern with the footing of the foundation walls no longer being below frostline?
How do you get the rain out
How many days did it take for this project??
Hi John, what were the final concrete dimensions in terms of impervious coverage? Thanks
I would like to know what you did to handle the water drainage.. thx
It’s cost me to do this 8500+ the permit to 250$
Are going to put a bulkhead to keep rain and weather out more efficiently
Thank you for this video, my wife and I just brought a house and we’re looking to do something like this to the basement, thanks for giving us an idea of what we’re expecting
