The Big Dig: Hand Digging Out A 100-Year-Old Basement
We dug out our basement and finished it to add a gym, home theater, and golf simulator. 80,000+ pounds of dirt and concrete out, 30,000+ pounds of concrete back in. Glad I did it – won’t do it again. Oh, the gravel and plastic are for radon, not carbon monoxide – and it worked!

I feel Your pain I have helped do many of these very time consuming
Wonderfully edited. Good job!
This is friggen awesome I have to say I love the shovel bit. Veteran move.
You are the man sir.
I used to work concrete as a laborer when I was 18, that has to be one of the hardest jobs I have ever had, when we had to do breaks outs of driveways with the jackhammer then toss all the chunks in the dump truck, you would come home beat up and wore out
This guy is a legend!
A friend did this to his basement. When I saw it I was like how in the hell did these guys remove 4 feet of dirt over 1200 square feet.
Bravo!!!
Why build a workout room when you could just come over and dig out my basement?
