Gang Territory aka the Basement

Hello again people here are the pictures of the basement, we found that reason the floorboards are uneven is that the foundation only holds the front half and part of the sides it does not extend all the way back under the floor boards entirely of the original house. And from what I can tell the additions (kitchen and bathroom) aren't even on block, they're on the ground. I hate people that half ass things.


Standing outside looking straight into the basement

Standing outside looking in towards the right of the basement.

One step inside and to the left the wall and where the local
"mafia" broke in before we bought it and cleaned the furnace
and everything they could get ahold of out.

Again, still looking to the left under the house. As you can see
the water leaking in because of it raining, however there are no
gutters working or french drains on that side, so that will be an
easy enough fix for a dry basement.

As you can see the foundation isn't completely under the entire
house and does this strange little L shape.

What back inside that L looks like.

Einy getting in on the action on the right and me crouched
down and taking a picture of right inside the basement again
And where the delinquents left the ventilation system.

Completely inside the basement turned around and towards the
right inside the door. You can also see the outdated fuse
panel.

Close up of the wall straight inside and the right side of the
basement. Insulation, broken brick and dirt MESS.

The state of the floor. Looking for tips or equipment to rent
on how to grind it down before we re pour to make it even again.

Shot of water on floor

Close up of the wall where the leaks are coming in.
Nothing that fixed gutters and french drain can't repair.
Considering it's been raining for 3 days and that's all the wet
it is.

Edison's Fuse box. wtf, how did this pass inspection?!

INSIDE that broken, open hole cubby straight across from the
basement door. That is what lies under the rest of the living room floor.
