We're planning to expand the basement we already built under our existing 72 year old house. The original basement construction did not extend to the existing foundation of the house. This second phase will likely do so on one wall. Needless to say, supporting the existing structure is simpler when an exterior wall is not involved. We're looking for sources of information about supporting the existing wall during construction of the new basement wall, which will become part of the foundation of the house. Thank you.
