The client wanted to dig a foot out of the basement to gain some headroom for living space. Fortunately for the guys with the shovels, the soil in Minneapolis is clean sand.

Unfortunately for the contractor, OA Design + Build + Architecture, there is no footing below the foundation wall. Digging below the foundation would not be a good thing for structural integrity, so OA hired an engineer.

Pouring a curb inside the foundation wall provides a buttress. The slab between the buttresses will be structural in that it will resist the foundation's tendency to push inward, where the digging was done.

It took longer to type that than it will to watch the video.
