House built in 1922 with less than 6 ft ceilings. Dug out 100,000 lbs of material and hauled it off in buckets. Took me about 3 months. Now we have 8ft ceilings. Foundation work handled by professional with proper permits.

I had a family memeber that wanted me to do something similar. I ended up just getting started with the bucket thing and got into a groove. There are definitely smarter ways to do this.
