basement access
i would like to put a bulkhead from my basement up to the back yard. there is a window there now that is half in the basement and half above floor level on the garden level. i was told i’d have to do this after my inspection, because that acts as ventilation to the basement….
i would like to put a bulkhead from my basement up to the back yard. there is a window there now that is half in the basement and half above floor level on the garden level. i was told i’d have to do this after my inspection, because that acts as ventilation to the basement. i have two windows in the front of the building going to the basement. i want all the tenents to have access to the back yard. is this true?
I am interested in doing exactly the same thing in my 2-family house. I’m curious – what price are you being quoted for the work?
it was told to me by the first contractor, who lasted about a month of disasters, my architect isn’t much better. the reason i question it is because my neighbor put in a bulkhead, a brownston down the street just put in one. i’m not in a hurry, but want to see if anyone here knows the the right answer. the window is between the cellar and basement(the floor you can walk out to the yard)
Is this a basement, english basement or cellar? whoever is telling you this is presumably your architect, so why would you doubt him?
