i’m guessing its a slab-on-grade floor. extracting that from a basement would suck.

Florida ain’t got basements.

Much of the southern US is built that way. In Florida it due to the water level being within a few feet of the surface nearly everywhere. In Arizona I know it was due to how difficult it is to dig there so basements are expensive. I assume other areas are that way simply due to expense or limitations like water table.

up here they are very common. we need to go down at least 4' to get below the freeze line so with that alone you are half way to a full basement . then your house is usually a foot or two above the soil so by the time you add that up, if you dig down another foot or two, you have a full basement.

The Kinja preview led me to believe Toby was her pal.

Lower Delaware is the same way, you practically scrape the ground and get a bubbling stream. Basements are kind of a hassle to keep dry.

Yup...I live in Wisconsin. Though apparently they are rising in popularity even in the northern states https://www.twincities.com/2016/04/22/new-to-minnesota-homes-without-basements/

Not sure how they build them without the freeze/thaw cycles and uphevel affecting them.
