Basement Scope Change

Now that the apartment living room, bath and bedroom are framed, I'm growing concerned that the space is too small. Fortunately, we've discovered that the existing foundation can support an excavation of the kitchen crawl space. This will add about 150 sqft of living space, bringing the basement apartment up to a comfortable 700 sqft or so.
