In answer to the question of placing a tower base next to a basement wall:
If your towerbase is located off the corner of the basement you wont have
pressure problems on the wall but if its located adjacent to the middle of a
wall you could be in big trouble. Like the other fellow who commented I
dont like to be near previously
disturbed soil either but I am equally concerned if you are near the middle of
a wall.
In fact some communities will not give you a building permit if you are as
close as
2.5 feet. Back it off at least 6 or more feet before you dig the hole.
In answer to whats a basement: Its a shack for some of us and also a great
place
to pile stuff the wife asks you to get rid of! And you should see my
basement!
