"This is Ben Ingham with Expert Village talking about a walk out basement.

Fortunately the house that I'm building this particular building is on 88 acres of land and I have lots of place to just spread the dirt out. There are low spots here and there and most of the dirt is very heavy clay and so it needs to be spread out anyway. It wouldn't grow much on it right now so it just needs to be out in places in low places in the field. Perhaps use it as a dam for a couple of ponds later on. "
