ok so now that I have 98% of my house gutted and rebuilt, there was a section of flooring (actually a raised concrete slab for part of the basement). for years I just lived with it and never really gave it any thought about removing it or lowering it. But now I decided to dwell into it. I figured I would remove 4 ft of it to make a room 12 ft long without the step up. So I start busting up the slab, I see it is only about 3.5-4" thick and then dirt. I figured I would remove the concrete and remove dirt, dig down a few more inches below other floor level and fill it up with concrete. well to my surprise there is another concrete floor about the same level as rest give or take a bit. What gives? I know the house was built in the 1800's and I'm sure a lot of changes were made but wonder why they would raise that area? I know its been there since before 1966 as that is when my parents bought the house.....anyone have any ideas
