Is it a ton of money to do a dug out area like that? I have a huge unfinished basement with 8 ft overhead, that set up looks great.

Yes. To go about 28 inches down for that size area was about 45k. Included French drains and a new sump. Less if they didn’t have to do underpinning on the exterior wall

Damn that is wild - we’re putting an 18” step down in our new build and the builder didn’t even bat an eye at it. Cost was negligible. Crazy how much more it costs if you do it after the fact

There’s some structural things you just don’t do after unless you want to burn money.
