Building The New House. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Although the plans don't call for them, we seem to have two swimming pools in the basement. Well, what do you expect? We are digging below the water table. Posted by David @ 8:00 PM. Links to this post. Monday, June 26, 2006. The basement is almost completely excavated now.
