In your first post that the cost for the basement dig/pour is 10k-20k, that sounds about right. Not much different from what I wrote. The only things I added was the steel and drain tile: STEEL BEAM/COLUMNS-typical Chicago building/home, material should be $900 to $1,500 max.
MEATLOAF IN FOIL. 1 can cream of mushroom soup. 1 lb. ground turkey. 1/2 pkg. (3/4 oz.) dry onion soup mix. On 24-inch strip of heavy aluminum foil mix turkey and onion soup mix. Form into loaf and pour undiluted soup over loaf. Wrap loosely in foil; place on baking sheet. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Allow to cool to room temperature. Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan.Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through.(A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.Copyright 1999, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, All Rights Reserved.llow to cool to room temperature.
