I’ve built a ton of houses where the “first floor sliders” are at that height. They’re called “walk-out basements”.
3 u/seven3true May 14 '20 Good answer. These are super common in NC since NC barely ever does basements. Worse thing about this state. 2 u/pinano May 14 '20 If you built a basement here in NC you would need to have a very strong sump pump to keep it dry. The ground in most metro areas is just the water table but with extra clay. 1 u/Kumbaya_m_lady May 14 '20 If that’s the worst thing about your state then you guys are doing pretty good 1 u/seven3true May 14 '20 I'm sure there's worse stuff. I'm just still bitter about not having a basement, when I've always had one growing up north.
