expensive addition or swimming pool addition help? for maintaining
handicap access and saving money is it cheaper to buy the house next

Just curious as to the probability of adding a basement to an existing
house. It was built in 55 and is a ranch style single story 3 bedroom
1000 sq. It has a 3 ft crawl space all the way around. I have a drywell
and well also, no city pumbing at all. Any thoughts on this? Thanks
