Would you consider this a diagram 2. I see all the walls being under grade level except for the gouged out driveway. It's an attached garage but barely big enough for a quad and I think it's underground. Would you?
Looks to me like a dug out crawl space.
Also looks to me like the part of the house above is an add on.
Hello,
as a layman´s opinion, i´d say underground.
br
I.A.
The top part
is a porch accessible from the house and the outside. It's definitely dug out but would you say it's underground as diagram 2 would define it?

Short answer: yeah I would say so especially not being part of the original structure.
Original structure
The foundation of the house proper will stand without the garage or the porch. If those walls along the drive fall in, then it would be underground on all 4 sides.
Original structure
Ok. Are there walls inside the "garage"? If so, are they re-enforced?
If not, that whole thing could come down in the next big rain.
Could be a small pond in the making in that event.
If I was a house buyer looking around and knowing the things I do now, I wouldn't touch it.
I am leaning toward Diagram 2 but read the requirements for a 9 if it has vents.
It's a nice house but
I'm not buying it. First floor is right about at the BFE.
No vents
This house was built in the 40s. It's in a mining town and this sucker is right in an obvious flood hazard zone. I just did one that was actually in the floodway! That's gonna hurt the pocketbook.
No vents
Mining town. It might be built on slag. Get that stuff wet and give it a little shake and see what happens. Liquifaction is NOT your friend.
Will we need a fishing license to visit when that happens? 😀
No vents
Here's what the area looks like.
You tell me what might happen to that neighborhood if something drastic happens.
Say if the river decides to change locations.
No vents
wow, I feel claustrophobic just looking at that!
