A friend of mine said in Moscow Russia people use to dig basements under precast concrete car size storage units. Every once in a while the the whole unit would fall in the hole halfway or more.

I've done that it is amazingly effective. Also pretty weird to start on Monday at ground level and by Wednesday afternoon you realize you will need a longer ladder. Also interesting how quick you strike water but then you're not done yet so for a while you need to get rid of the water faster than it flows in.

It's wild to me that people would do this in the city right near their apartment building.
