Cheapest option for remodelling a sunroom tacked onto rear kitchen?
Our house was extended at some point to add a sun room to the back of the house. The original rear window was left in the back wall to let in light to the kitchen.

I've recently acquired a property which has a large basement space which isn't being used for anything. It is about 6 foot tall so to do anything with it I could do with it being a bit taller. Can I excavate a down further? What trouble might I face and what do I need to consider. Thank you.
